"...and hows the tranquility?"
the majestic peaks are always by our sides as we walk..
Tanya and Brendon enjoy a moment on the rocky beach
The wind sweeps water from the lake, even blowing waterfalls upwards
Sun sets over the Torres del Paine national park
The two tones of the metamorphic rocks are in stark contrast

The view from the bar is atypical
