Neverland, Wonderland Travels: Torres del Paine

One thing about being in Peace Corps is the ability to travel to nearbye countries and share your experience, info about Paraguay to others abroad. For example, I was asked by a Chiliean about Paraguays beaches.... I feel its important part of my peace corps experience to share my trip to Chile. Traveling is apart of our time here, and sharing our time in paraguay to everyone. Torres del Paine Park, in Southern Chile was the most beautiful place ive been to in my life without any doubt. It didnt feel like i was on earth. I traveled through neverland, wonderland, through flora ive never seen before, glaciers, ice burgs, avalanches, rock formations, glacial caverans. Some vistas I felt i could see the dinosaurs walking around. They seemed to fit with the barren glacial environment. Scrambling over painful granite rocks, stumbling down canyons of rock tore my knees and puncured my feet even through the thick hiking boots. We were sooooooooo lucky with the weather, everyone kept telling us...
