Torres del Paine National Park in Chile is a breathtaking natural reserve located in the southern region of Patagonia. Renowned for its stunning landscapes, the park features dramatic mountains, bright blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers, and golden pampas (grasslands) that shelter rare wildlife such as guanacos, Andean condors, and pumas. The centerpiece of the park is the Cordillera del Paine, a small but spectacular mountain group that includes the famous three granite towers (Torres) from which the park takes its name. Hikers and trekkers from around the world flock to the park to experience its challenging trails, including the famous W Trek and the more demanding O Circuit.
