Qué ver en el Parque Nacional Torres del Paine

Torres del Paine National Park: The Ultimate Must-Sees

Torres del Paine National Park encompasses over 180,000 hectares of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in Chile. This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is defined by the granite pillars of the Cordillera del Paine, the massive Grey Glacier, and the turquoise waters of Lake Pehoé and Lake Nordenskjöld. The park protects diverse ecosystems ranging from Magellanic subpolar forests to Patagonian steppes, serving as a critical habitat for guanacos, pumas, and Andean condors.
