Parque Nacional Torres del Paine
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the 180,000-hectare (442-acre) park is
the pride and joy of southern Chile. The park takes its name after
the towering granite pillars that rise over 6,560 feet (2,000m)
above the Patagonian plains. It is a hiker's paradise with many
excellent, well-developed trails through astounding changes in
scenery. Turquoise lakes and roaring waterfalls, forests and
magnificent rambling glaciers, icy rivers, daisy-filled meadows,
harsh mountain passes and plenty of wildlife, including the
protected guanaco (wild relative of the llama), are some of its
attractions, while visitors can try their hand at outdoor
activities like horseback riding, sailing and kayaking, rock
climbing and fly-fishing.
