@Pam: I’m so glad you were able to reschedule your trip for this year. The weather should be a little more reliable in January. I’ve heard from people who trekked in the last months that the camp sights now have better storage for food so there isn’t so much of a mouse problem. Let us know how it goes!

We were scheduled to hike last year but the earthquake put it on hold till 2011. We leave Jan 10. So glad for the insight. Still anxious to see the sights. Were also going to head to Mt Fitz Roy nice to know the trails are taken care of.

@Sonya: Glad this post serves as inspiration! We don’t have any big treks planned for the moment, but we will be writing and posting photos soon from our treks around El Chalten in Argentine Patagonia and Chiloe Island in Chile. Stay tuned!

I always love visiting and being inspired by your blog. This trekking post is definitely a new favorite. The photos are so amazing, I can feel the mountain places there. Where are you trekking next?

@Laurie: Thank you for your comment. On any trek, hopefully the natural beauty, sense of accomplish and trekker comraderie is always present. What we were trying to do in this piece is contrast Torres del Paine to some other treks (for example, the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal) where the cultural dimension proved both exceptionally rewarding and essential to the experience.

I haven’t done this trek but from an experience in the High Atlas mountains I share your thoughts that in addition to the natural beauty (and for me a major sense of accomplishment reaching the summit!) the truly best part was sharing it with my fellow trekkers and meeting new ones along the way. We instantly bonded based on the shared experience which made the trek that much richer and we were lucky to have the camaraderie extend past the base of the mountain. Thanks for sharing, Laurie

@Arielle: Glad you learned something from this post and enjoyed the photos!

@Eva & Jeremy: Like we hint at, we have had some other trekking experiences (e.g., Annapurna Circuit in Nepal) that we found to be more amazing. But, trekking in Torres del Paine was still a good experience and this is beautiful part of the world.
