One night we hiked through icy, fairy-tale woodlands to reach Lago Grey. As we left the woods we saw light from a full moon striking the icebergs. They looked like ghosts floating over the lake. That night I fell in love with Torres del Paine. —Anne Patterson, park guide

Trek through Torres del Paine with pioneering adventure traveler Richard Bangs in the October 1999 issue of TRAVELER.
