The untouched world of a guanaco

In the afternoon a group of guanaco's feeding on the dry late winter grass. This was taken near the path on the walk that leads to salto grande waterfall. The cuernos make an impressive back drop and it is well worth following this walk to the mirador cuernos. The untouched nature and solitude in winter makes Torres del Paine an incredible place to visit. Guanaco are found all throughout the national park. Llama and alpaca's are descended from wild guanacos having been domesticated 6,000-7,000 years ago.
