As a landscape and adventure photographer, I'm drawn to the dramatic landscapes of Torres del Paine National Park. From the towering granite peaks of the Cordillera del Paine to the azure waters of Lake Pehoé, this destination offers endless opportunities to capture the raw beauty of nature. Over the course of 12 days, I plan to explore the park's diverse ecosystems with my husband, Liam. We decided not to book a hotel to keep our options open for camping or staying at various refugios within the park, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the surroundings and capture the changing light at different times of the day.
