Chile: Torres del Paine

<p>The Torres del Paine mountain range lies at the southern end of the Andes, just before they sink into the Pacific Ocean. The peaks tower over 3,000 m above sea level, making them an eye-catcher in the flat Patagonian expanse. This uniquely beautiful granite rock formation has been protected in a national park since 1959. The park borders directly on the southern foothills of the Campo de Hielo Sur, the largest ice field outside the poles. Some glaciers protrude into the national park and can be admired at close range on a hike through the park on the Torres del Paine Circuito. The book provides information on all the accommodation in the most beautiful national park in South America and describes the Circuito and the most interesting detours to the unique sights of this "most beautiful natural wonder" in detail.</p> <p
