Hikers Face Intense ‘Breeze’ at Torres del Paine National Park

50 Campfires

No matter how much you know, you still don’t know everything. When hiking, this occasionally means you end up facing unexpectedly intense winds that nearly knock you over. Such appears to be the case with some hikers in Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park. A video shows blue skies but a very strong “breeze” that forces the Torres del Paine hikers to move backward instead of forward.

“Did you know? The wind in Patagonia, especially in Torres del Paine National Park, can reach gusts of over 120 km/h [75 mph]?” writes Chile Nativo Travel in an Instagram post sharing the video. “Have you experienced this ‘breeze’ yet?”
