Picture of the Day: A Building with a View
A BUILDING WITH A VIEW
Somewhere in the Chilean Patagonia of Torres del Paine National Park, is this building (perhaps a cabin or refuge?) with a view that needs no description. If anyone knows more about the exact location and purpose of the building, please do share!
The national park measured approximately 242,242 hectares in 2006 and is one of the largest and most visited parks in Chile. It is a popular hiking destination with clearly marked paths and many refugios that provide shelter and basic services. Hikers can opt for a day trip to see the towers, walk the popular “W” route in about five days, or trek the full circle in 8 to 9 days. [Source]
Visiting the park is recommended between late December and late February, during the southern summer. Not only is the weather more hospitable, but daylight hours are very long given the extreme southern latitude.
