I never thought that I, someone who couldn't even tell directions in Kaohsiung's Chaishan, would one day complete a four-day, three-night hike in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park.
\n<\/p>\n

Arriving at the breathtaking landscape, which has been rated a must-visit in a lifetime by National Geographic, I not only got to explore the stunning blue lakes formed by millennia-old glacier melt, but more importantly, I discovered various emotions within myself and learned how I respond to challenges along the way.<\/p>\n

The total length of the W Trek route is 62 kilometers. As someone with limited hiking experience, I was allocated a daily hiking time of 7 to 9 hours. To successfully complete this challenge, timely trail markers, horse dung, and footprints on the ground all became crucial clues.<\/p>\n

\u25e6 The Impact of Las Torres on Me<\/span><\/h6>\n

I chose to tackle the most challenging section, Las Torres, from east to west, reserving it for the first day when I had the most energy. I'm glad I made that choice because the final challenging journey to conquer Las Torres was a truly eye-opening experience! Apart from making me break into a cold sweat and fearing that I might tumble down the cliff with every step, the unpredictable weather, which alternated between rain and strong winds, added to the challenge of reaching the summit and descending.<\/p>\n

\u25e6 French Valley and British Valley<\/span><\/h6>\n

After enduring the hardships of the first day, the subsequent hikes through the French Valley and British Valley were so breathtaking that it felt like a gift from the heavens. They had their share of challenging sections and adverse weather conditions, but having gone through the awe-inspiring challenge of Las Torres, I faced them all with composure.<\/p>\n

This hike deepened my understanding of balance and breathing. Balance guided my body to take the next step, while controlled breathing enabled me to go further.<\/p>\n
