Excluding travel days, we allocated four full days for exploring parts of Torres del Paine. During that time, weather and other variables cooperated such that we experienced two of the three "must do" activities that we identified during out trip planning. Unfortunately, a multiplicity of factors meant we ended up missing out on the French Valley hike. Instead, we did a couple of half day hikes and went exploring for fossils.
