The highlight of the paines circuit all together, if you ask me !! Even better then the torres. Go up the pass from the Dickson-Los Perros side and enjoy the "wooooow" -moment as soon as you reach the saddle overlooking the other side.....top top top More

The view from a distance was astonishing; going up close in the boat was amazing. Such a range of blues, I never knew they all existed. More
