This photo captures the epic landscape of las Torres del Paine that greeted me after a challenging first day on the W Classic trail in Patagonia.
Exhausted but exhilarated, I conquered 30km (18.64mi) of dramatic climbs and descents, swapping stories and trail wisdom with fellow hikers from across the globe (some even spilled the beans on the best campsites for the W Reverse!).
Refugio Central's delicious dinner, potent pisco sours, and a soothing hot shower were just what the doctor ordered. But before sleep claimed me, I had to steal one last look at these majestic mountains bathed in the golden light of dusk from my bedroom window. The raw beauty of this place takes your breath away - I can't wait to delve deeper tomorrow, ready for day two of six on this incredible adventure!
