The National Park Torres del Paine
is, without doubt, one of the most spectacular national parks in
the country. A world biosphere reserve, it has a huge variety of
plant and animal species which, with its incredibly beautiful setting
has made it an almost unequalled destination for hikers and backpackers,
ecology-lovers and adventure sportsmen alike. Snow-capped mountain
peaks, cascading rivers and waterfalls, glaciers and mirrored lakes:
in all respects Torres del Paine national park deserves its reputation.
