Los Cuernos, or “the Horns,” is part of the Paine Massif, an outcropping of granite peaks nestled comfortably within the heart of the southern Andes and Patagonia. It is a spectacle of erosion and a probe into the depths of time. The Horns are about halfway along the famed 60km (37 mi) W Trek Circuit, seated between the neighbouring peaks of Los Torres and Paine Grande. They are a particular spectacle mostly due to their shape and colouring. They instantly call to mind a set of rocky horns, and their jaggedness really does strike even the most well-travelled adventurer to awe-inspiring silence. The colour is something more scientific and brings out the amateur geologist nerd in those of us who really like rocks. via 500px http://ift.tt/2wK5dUL. By tpoulton001
