| no partners | | Our third hike of the day brought us ever closer to the mountains of Torres del Paine National Park, and the views just got better.
This hike is short but solid climb from either the road, or alternatively from the Pudeto camping area to a lovely overlook of the lovely Lago Pehoe--known as the "heart" of TDP national park, with its strikingly turquoise waters at the feet of the mountainous Paine Massif.
The day was rather overcast, but we were nevertheless treated to pretty good views from the summit lookout.
Passed through a burn area--the park suffered from several fires over the past decades--all preventable/all human caused. 
There is a lovely lodge on Lago Pehoe, on a small island connected by a bridge/boardwalk at which a couple we spoke with on the summit was staying. It was pricey, but certainly in an idyllic location.
After enjoying the views and conversation with fellow travelers, we descended and headed towards our 4th and final hike of the day, which we anticipated to be the crown jewel of our day adventure--Mirador Cuernos! |
