Wanderlust Travel

Torres del Paine

Chile · South America

Granite towers, glaciers and wind: the wild heart of Patagonia.

The W trek takes four or five days, from the base of the towers to the Grey glacier, past the horns of the Cuernos del Paine reflected in lake Pehoé.

The weather changes in minutes: sun, rain and wind in the same hour. Guanacos, condors and, with luck, pumas live in the park.
