Patagonia - Torres del Paine
Torres del Paine is considered by many to be Latin America's finest national park and home to huge towering granite peaks which were created during the Ice Age and are still crowned today by glaciers. The two-coloured Cuernos (the Horns) and the distinguished Torres (Towers) are surrounded by a string of aquamarine, emerald and turquoise lakes. Waterfalls, glaciers and amazing hiking trails will put you in touch with nature.
