Best of Torres Del Paine

Top itineraries and travel advice in and around Torres del Paine
One of South America’s most impressive national parks, Torres del Paine is named after the soaring granite pillars which rise over 6562 feet (2000m) above the Patagonian steppe. This pristine wilderness is home to turquoise lakes, gushing rivers, glaciers, chiseled peaks and thick forests, and spreads across some 700 square miles (1813 sq km). Most people come here to hike, though it’s also a great destination to relax and reconnect with nature while staying in a mountain-style lodge. 

The five-day “W” trek takes you to some spectacular scenery, and ranks among the top multi-day hikes in Patagonia. For something less intense, you can partake in an array of shorter trails, visiting lakes, waterfalls, and the park’s dramatic rock formations. Wildlife watching is another highly recommended activity: guanaco and pumas are among 26 mammalian species found here. Horseback riding, mountain biking, ice hiking and kayaking past icebergs are other memorable ways to spend an action-filled holiday.
