About Torres del Paine National Park

Torres del Paine is Chilean Patagonia's most celebrated park. Three sheer granite spires rise above turquoise lakes and grasslands roamed by guanaco, condors, and elusive pumas. The W and O treks draw multi-day hikers from around the world; for those without time to walk the full circuits, day excursions reach Grey Glacier and the base of the towers. Patagonian weather is famously volatile — four seasons in a single day is normal.
