Trekking in Torres del Paine



   This picture represent an special moment in my life because it was my first visit to Torres del Paine.
   One year ago, my boyfriend gave me a Valentine's gift: a weekend in National Park Torres del Paine. I was very excited because I don't like traditional gifts and specially be a cliche couple having a romantic moment only for this marketing day and my boyfriend knew that. 
   With an extension of 9 kilometers, all the way was uphill. In my case the first 3 kilometers were the hardest, it cost me a lot to get used, actually I've never get used. 
   That day had 30 degrees that got harder my resistance, but the advantage was that in all the way had streams and thanks to that I could drank water all day. 
   After 4 kilometers we had our first stop in "Chilenito camp", we rest only for a few minutes and immediately continue our journey because our limit was arrive at 4 pm, enjoy one hour in the pick and return at 5 pm, with this we could have sun for all the 4 hours that we needed for the return. 
    At 1 pm I was close to the top and I was tired, thirsty and angry with my boyfriend for cheering me with word like: "Come on, hurry. Women can't do this", "Why I gave you this travel?", "My mom can do that better than you". I only want to kill him but when we arrived he told me that It was a physiological strategy for me, and it worked, thanks to that I made it.
   Under the 4 picks It was a lagoon containing glacier water, we noted this when I jumped and scream for the extremely low temperature, despite that I swan for almost 15 minutes, the best experience ever.
