A photograph and its story.

TORRES DEL PAINE

This photograph was taken during my summer vacation this year. I went to the south of Chile with my dad, my sister who is 11 years old and my little brother who is 3 years old.

We toured most of the tourist attractions in the Magallanes region, including Torres del Paine. Reaching Torres del Paine was an adventure. We had to climb many hills, it was a very long walk, it took us 5 hours one way and 6 hours back as it started to rain heavily on the way back and we had to be very careful not to fall. Also the wind was stormy.

There were parts of the route that were very complicated, since it was necessary to climb, others where the height scared me. My little brother amazed us all, because for his age he walked a lot, however, my dad carried him on his back most of the time.

It was all worth it because the scenery was beautiful, we saw foxes and drank water from springs, without a doubt a magical place.
