Torres del Paine National Park

Torres del Paine National Park delivers Patagonian drama at its most accessible, anchored by the three granite towers that thrust roughly 2,850 metres above sea level. Established in 1959, this 1,814 sq km UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (designated 1978) hosts pumas, guanacos, and the endangered huemul deer across glaciers and turquoise lakes, drawing around 250,000 visitors a year who come for its dramatic, relatively compact landscape.
