Torres del Paine National Park – “Patagonia’s Crown Jewel”

#holidayitinerary


📌 Location: Chilean Patagonia

Torres del Paine is one of the most dramatic landscapes I’ve ever seen—sharp granite towers, turquoise glacial lakes, and wide-open skies. I hiked the W Trek over five days, staying in eco-camps and refugios, crossing rivers, and passing waterfalls and wild guanacos. The namesake towers were most impressive at sunrise when they turned pink with the morning light. Each section of the park offers something new—from iceberg-studded lakes to lush valleys. It’s remote and wild, but well organized for trekkers. Every sore muscle was worth it for the views and silence of the Patagonian wilderness.
