Torres Del Paine National Park

The park is considered one of the most beautiful and uncontaminated places in the world as it hosts mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers. The name Torres del Paine (Towers of Paine) comes from the three peaks of the mountain range that dominate the area. A popular tourist destination on Chile vacations, the park offers half-day tours to the towers as well as longer treks that can last anywhere from five to nine days. Known for its conservation efforts, hikers are not allowed to stray from the paths due to the effects visitor impact can have on the environment. As a result, paths are clearly marked and visitors are allowed to experience hiking through stunning forests, past glaciers and over rivers and lakes encountering incredible amounts of flora and fauna at every turn.
