Torres del Paine National Park, declared Reserve of the Biosphere by Unesco in 1978, is the most important and internationally renowned highlight of the Chilean Patagonia.
In this beautiful, unspoiled and remote place of 181,000 hectares, the granite torres (towers) and cuernos (horns) have given world-wide fame to the Park. It also offers seclusion and adventure with spectacular scenery of mountain range, lakes, rivers and the pampa, which is home to the graceful guanaco (a relative of the llama) and the speedy ņandu (a variety of ostrich), while high above circles the ubiquitous condor.
The best season to visit the park is from October to April, which is Spring and Summer in the southern hemisphere. This season has more sunny days with less rain.
Located on the shore of an inland cove, Puerto Natales has emerged as the staging center for visits to Torres del Paine National Park, Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, and the Cueva del Milodon (Milodon Cave). Settled in 1911 as a sheep-herding town, it is located about 250 km northwest of Punta Arenas by a good, partly paved road and boasts a stunning location with grand views out onto a grassy peninsula and glacier-capped peaks in the distance.
Eastern Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is the most isolated island on earth. It remains an enigma how the island's descendants could design and sculpt hundreds of colossal Moai head sculptures from hard volcanic tuff, transport them to great distances, and erect them on great stone platforms (Ahu). Three volcanoes gave rise to this island, creating dramatic landscapes. Ancient inhabitants had an organized society, a written language, wonderful building techniques, and a complex religion.
Santiago is an architectural collage of old Spanish colonial charm, European elegance, and North American suburbia, populated with five million amiable Chileans. However, the city lacks the Indian markets prevalent in other Andean countries. In the city's center there are pedestrian malls with cobblestone walkways lined with shopping galleries, fountains, cafes, movie theaters, ice cream shops, and banks. There is an intense activity in the arts and also an exciting nightlife.
Today, Punta Arenas reflects a great mix of cultures, from English sheep ranchers to Portuguese sailors, and it remains an utterly fascinating testament to the Chile's rich history.
It is found on the western edge of the Straits of Magellan, which join the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, offering great views over the colorful roofs of the city of Tierra del Fuego.
It's privileged location has made of this port the gateway to initiate an amazing experience in Torres del Paine National Park, or a beatiful cruise towards Cabo de Hornos or the Antarctica.
