Grey Glacier – Torres del Paine National Park, Chile – photo by wallygrom

Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2012 with a new weekly post #WhereToGoWednesday featuring the most popular destination of the week on TripTuner. This week it’s the natural gem of a national park Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia. There’s nothing quite like taking in the sunset over Grey Glacier, a surreal multi-colored spectacle that lulls you to sleep after a long day of hiking…that is until you hear the crashing of the glacier shedding a few pounds at night.

Speaking of sleep, you can pitch a tent lakeside, hole up in a refugio (cabin) or splurge at the Explora Lodge a.k.a. Hotel Salto Chico. Want an informed take on how to arrange a trip there? Just ask – we’ve been and can help you sort it out quickly. In the meantime, stay tuned!
