This National Park is known worldwide as a destination for trekking<\/b>. The famous W Trek through Torres del Paine<\/a> is the most popular route for travelers, followed by the O Circuit<\/a>, a little longer.<\/p>\n

In Torres del Paine, there are different viewpoints such as the French Valley Viewpoint<\/b> or the Base Torres Viewpoint<\/b> from where the photos are spectacular due to the play of light and colors.<\/p>\n

The light is quite dim due to the weather, as the sky is covered by clouds most of the time and effects such as overexposure can be avoided.<\/p>\n

Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia<\/h2>\n

It is the largest salt flat in the world<\/b> and you will love to discover all the curiosities hidden in Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni<\/a>. It is one of the most incredible places in South America and if you are wondering when to visit it<\/a>, think that during the rainy season (January, February and March), there is an impressive mirror effect<\/b> in front of the camera.<\/p>\n

To get good photos, you will have to make a precise measurement due to the luminosity of the place. In addition, you can bring out your creative side because in this place you can get very original photos<\/a> due to the play of perspective<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Besides photos, visiting the Uyuni Salt Flats<\/a> is an incredible experience and although most visits start from Bolivia, you can also visit the Salar from San Pedro de Atacama<\/a> if you are in Chile. There you will find a train cemetery<\/a> and you can contemplate the Dakar salt sculpture<\/b>. In these last two places, you can play with depth of field and ISO sensitivity<\/b> to achieve different effects.<\/p>\n

Huayna Picchu and Picchu Mountain<\/b> are two areas to which you can also access and get panoramic photos. From there, you will be able to capture the essence of Machu Picchu.<\/p>\n
