Patagonia's Laguna delos Tres vs Torre del Paine Day-Hike Comparison

two of the best and most popular Argentine Patagonia's day-hike
Started the fun-hiking from my home country to moving beyond the neighbors in South-east Asia (Kinabalu) and North (Fuji), all the-way to Central Asia (Himalayas) and Africa (Kilimanjaro). Dream-hike is unstoppable all the way in South America's famous, the Patagonia trails. Patagonia hike is a challenge for a long hike rather than its summit elevation. I failed to accomplish hiking the Chilean Patagonia side due to underestimated / miscalculated bus schedule from Punta Arenas Airport to Puerto Natales Bus Station :'(

Laguna delos Tres (Argentina Patagonia) is the most desired and exciting trek that takes you to the foot of Mount Chaltén. This natural viewpoint is the closest site to the mythical walls of the Mount Fitz Roy and its surrounding granite peaks and without a doubt the most famous of all treks. Torres del Paine (Chile Patagonia) is a national park in the Extreme South region of Patagonian Chile. It is located in the southern tiers of the Andes and features mountains, lakes and glaciers. The Torres del Paine (Spanish for "Towers of Paine", "Paine" being the old indigenous name for the colour blue), three immense rock towers give the park its name.
