Patagonia: Torres del Paine – The Horns

For the majority of our day in the park, the Horns were shrouded in clouds as this was in late October or early spring in Patagonia. The clouds partially cleared to reveal the Horns while we at a stop to view the nearby falls.

The Cuernos del Paine or 'Paine horns' is a collective name given to a set of spiky granite peaks in Torres del Paine National Park, all of which stand at over 2000 metres high.

The spikes have fittingly sharp names: to the north, the Aleta de Tiburón (Shark's Fin), to the east, from north to south, Fortaleza (Fortress), La Espada (The Sword), La Hoja (The Blade), La Máscara (The Mask), Cuerno Norte (North Horn), and Cuerno Principal (Main Horn).

The Cuernos del Paine also lend their name to one of the park's 'refugios' or 'lodges', Refugio and Camping Los Cuernos.
