The coach eases out of Puerto Natales before dawn, wind from the Patagonian steppe pressing against the windows like a living thing. As the road climbs, forests thin into glacial valleys and the Paine massif reveals itself in sharp, horned profiles: granite towers that seem to cut the sky. You step off the vehicle at Sarmiento Lake and the silence of cold water and distant ice fills the air; condors wheel above like slow punctuation.
