One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most magical moments I experienced in the Torres del Paine National Park after a quite cool night in the tent, when the first beams of morning's sunlight hit the monolithic towers of the Torres and let them glow in a brilliant reddish colour!! Beautiful! Stunning! Breathtaking!!!
