The unfortunate incident has shocked tourists globally, especially in the UK, and raised worry about safety in one of Patagonia's most beautiful but seemingly unpredictable natural spots.
The disaster as per sources unfolded on Monday when an intense winter storm suddenly engulfed trekkers exploring Torres del Paine, located in Chile's Magallanes region. According to local authorities, wind gusts reached as high as 193 km/h (about 120 mph), making the weather comparable to a Category 3 hurricane as per reports.
