Torres del Paine National Park is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, made up of the simply breathtaking scenery of the Paine Massif.
Wildlife includes Andean deer, guanaco, puma, skunks and hares as well as a host of birds such as Andean condors, Chilean flamingo, black-faced ibis, black-necked swans and kelp geese.
Whether they travel around the park by vehicle, on foot or by boat, visitors are left in awe by the magnificent and dramatic views all around them - it is a photographer’s paradise. Most startling are the virtually vertical granite formations, but snow-capped mountains, great lakes, millenarian glaciers, also surround them and the park protects an interesting flora and fauna.
The park is a paradise for eco-tourism enthusiasts, adventure sport lovers and hikers who love the well-developed network of trails. You need at least two to three days here to do this park justice.
The park is located 113 kilometres north of Puerto Natales and covers an area the size of Luxembourg.
