Photo of the Day: Valle de Frances Patagonia

During our Full Circuit Trek at Torres del Paine Patagonia, Chile, we hiked off path for an hour to the top of Valle de Frances. Valle de Frances is the middle leg of what forms the “W.” If you can endure it, there is a hidden trail that continues to lead up the mountain past the spot where most hikers have lunch. The hike is a bit dangerous especially when the surface of the rocks freeze from a cascading river, but the views are stunning.
