Torres del Paine has built up a legendary status among travellers, with its impossibly blue lakes, towering snow-dusted mountains, pine forests and a surprising amount of wildlife, making this – unquestionably – one of the most scenic parts of Patagonia. Among the many outdoor activities in Torres del Paine, there are endless hiking routes for everyone from expert climbers to leisurely walkers, for the chance to admire glaciers, mineral-rich waterfalls, rivers and high-altitude lagoons, making for some of the most spectacular photos in Chile!

If looking to experience one of the great travel experiences during your trip to South America, Torres del Paine National Park should be somewhere near the top of your list. This untamed expanse of azure lagoons, picturesque mountains, authentic estancias, lookout points and so much more, covers nearly 2,000sq km of stunning landscapes; a true privilege to witness as somewhere which never fails to leave its mark on visiting travellers.

While here, get up close and personal to the great Grey Glacier, lay your eyes on the national park’s mighty granite pillars themselves, or take in the sobering views of Torres del Paine’s beautiful lakes: Sarmiento, Pehoe and Nordenskjold. This UNESCO-protected natural heritage site is also home to its share of wildlife, with Guanacos, Flamingos, Andean Condors, Andean Deer and even Pumas thriving here, making hikes, mountain bike rides, lake crossings and horse riding trails throughout Torres del Paine all the more enjoyable.
