The real Torres del Paine lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find places like Salto Grande and Lago Pehoe viewpoint that make a city worth knowing. Even around well-known spots like French Valley, one street over the crowds disappear entirely.
