Torres del Paine day 2 and 3

Yesterday was an epic one.  I ran for 9 hours and completed the rest of the "W."  It was spectacular, tough, and also very crowded.  The Cuernos are unbelievable. This morning I was feeling really tired. If I was anywhere else, today would have been a complete rest day but being my last full day in the park I had to get out at least for a little bit.  I hiked 4-5 hours this morning north to the Seron Camping area.  Definitely not as spectacular as the W, but enjoyable and far less crowded.  This afternoon I have been relaxing in the bar which has a spectacular view and finalized some more reservations.  Most importantly I have secured a guide to the Isla Magdalena Penguin colony on christmas day! 120,000 penguins should be amazing.  All I'll need now is some coca-cola and a polar bear and it will be the perfect christmas moment.  I found a super cheap private transport company from calama to atacama ($22 for a 100 km taxi ride) and also finalized some reservations after the coastal challenge in costa rica.  I am going to spend 3 days kite boarding in this relaxing little beach town called Bahia Salinas after the race and then go to the monte verde cloud forest.

Here are some highlights from the "W":
