For more information legroux.eu/treko
This episode 5 is entirely devoted to Trek O, one of the most famous Treks in Chile, even in Patagonia.
The Trek O is an 8-day and 140 km loop in the Chilean National Park - Los Torres del Paine (The Towers of Pain). A variant, the Trek W, is traced for 4 days in the southern part.
This Trek O presents very varied landscapes. The path is close to the torrents that border it, then in balconies and the views are sumptuous, the birds are numerous, the spring flowers the superb Notro (shrubs) all red, the summits and glaciers are omnipresent.
The first very spectacular highlight is the Gray Glacier. It is worth it because it is difficult to access in a very mineral and horribly windy and cold environment. The view from the pass is magical, there are 40 km of glacier! This Gray glacier is in junction with the 350 km long glacier park. Walking all day near the glacier is a rare experience, each watchtower offers new facets of this immense sea of ice more than 5 km wide and which advances about 10-15 cm per day.
The final highlight is the mirador of the Tours de la Paine which is only accessible at the cost of a very steep climb. The towers are majestic there. Often capped with clouds, they require patience to let themselves be seen in full.
Ahead !
