Mirror, mirror…
Undisturbed by the tiniest ripple, these mountain waters are so mirror-smooth we're not sure which way's up. Luckily, in Patagonia, directions only matter so much: The views are amazing no matter which way you look in this land of majestic peaks, glaciers, valleys, and lakes. In our image, rays of sunlight glint off of the Cuernos del Paine, a group of granite mounts standing over 6,500 feet high. With their distinctive gnarled shape ('cuernos' means 'horns') and two-tone color scheme, they're a well-known symbol of the park and a landmark sight along the W Circuit, a popular multi-day trekking route here in Torres del Paine National Park.
