Chilean Patagonia

Chilean Patagonia stretches from cobalt lakes in the north to icy fjords and glaciers further south, but it is Torres del Paine National Park that draws most visitors first. The park’s granite towers rise almost vertically from the pampas, with trails looping past turquoise lakes and beneath hanging glaciers. Base yourself at a good estancia lodge nearby and multi-day hikes are possible without ever roughing it, a rare combination in a region this remote.
