When to go to Torres del Paine (Puerto Natales)?
Three granite towers, the jagged Cuernos beside them and Lake Pehoé holding the reflection whenever the wind allows: Torres del Paine is Patagonia at full volume. The five-day W trek links the Mirador Las Torres with Glacier Grey, where blocks calve off with a low boom, and a boat takes anyone who would rather watch from the water. Puerto Natales is where it all begins.
