Torres del Paine National Park is one of
the most beautiful mountain landscapes in the world, and UNESCO
declared it a biosphere reserve in 1978.
Within its 242,242 hectares, you will discover
what makes Patagonia so unique: Vertical granite peaks, huge
glaciers, lakes of deep blue to green hues, the Patagonian
desert steppe, rivers and waterfalls—all together and surrounding
a tremendous granite massif—invite you to explore its interior.
In its center rise three stone spires, “The
Torres del Paine,” which give the park its name. The landscape
and native Patagonian fauna are varied, inviting a profound
natural experience—whether you see it by foot, horseback or
via sailing. Apart from the king of the sky, the condor, and
100 other species of birds, you may have the opportunity to
see mountain lions, herds of guanaco, rheas, foxes and the
mythical Andean deer.
Walking in Torres del Paine National Park
is the dream of lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking
a special kind of adventure. It is recorded deep within the
memories of all who experience it.
If you walk the legendary trails of Torres
del Paine National Park, you can opt to take on the complete
circuit around the Paine Massif in 7 days or the W Trek, which
takes you to the primary lookout points in 5 days.
