Latin America Favorites

info@jpwphoto.com (Jay Philip Williams Photographic Design) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:11:00 GMT

I've created this collection for those who might not want to spend the time going through the thousands of photos I've shot in Latin America and for my own expression of what are my personal favorites of the trip.

The choices I've made are based (not necessarily conciously) on several criteria, including interesting color, a rare or unique moment, a beautiful or interesting person, or just a fun or memorable event or expression.

It's notoriously difficult to edit one's own work, but I've tried to be ruthless and will continue to do so as I add photos to this collection during the duration of my travels in Latin America.

As of about 6 months' travel and over 23,000 photos, this is the current gallery of my favorites. As a new favorite comes along, I'll add it.

Puerto Natales

info@jpwphoto.com (Jay Philip Williams Photographic Design) — Fri, 23 May 2008 00:58:00 GMT

Puerto Natales is a city at the lower end of the route sailed by the Navimag, in southern Chile, and is basically a place for tourists to sleep before and after visiting Torres del Paine National Park. It's got approximately three million hostels, hotels, and hospedajes. There's not really much interesting in the town itself, but there is a nice hike a short taxi drive away: up Mirador Dorotea. A great place for backpackers to stay is Erratic Rock. They have all the advice and gear (to rent) that one might need to hike in the park.

Torres del Paine National Park

info@jpwphoto.com (Jay Philip Williams Photographic Design) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:38:00 GMT

Torres del Paine is a national park in Chile a couple hours north of the town of Puerto Natales. The road leading from the port town to the park is paved for part of the trip, but then is gravel and dirt the rest of the way. All the roads in the park are gravel and dirt. Be prepared for a rough ride.

The photographs in this gallery are from the ride to and from the park, from the area outside the park, and from within the park, itself.

For non-residents of Chile, it's an expensive place to visit, so bring some bucks. You can stay at lodges within the park, called refugios, you can camp, or you can just go into the park for the day.

Many of the visitors to the park hike what's referred to as "The W" which gets its name from the shape of the trail on a map, and others do a longer hike encircling the park called "The Circuit."

If you like visiting national park and enjoy the outdoors, this is a very nice place to visit. Don't miss it if you're in Chile.
