Patagonia & Santiago

Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile’s Patagonia region, is known for its soaring mountains, bright blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers, and golden pampas (grasslands) that shelter rare wildlife such as llama-like guanacos. A journey through the wilds of Torres del Paine National Park is no small feat. To fully experience this rugged and beautiful landscape, it requires driving, hiking, horseback riding, and boating in unpredictable conditions. But the rewards are unparalleled: sunsets on the lagoon, hikes to the edges of glaciers, and sweeping views that will get your heart racing.

Chile is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful countries in Latin America. And its capital Santiago is a testament to Chile's history and its rich cultural heritage. "Chile," wrote Pablo Neruda, "was invented by a poet." And its capital, Santiago, is located in one of the most spectacular settings of the world, surrounded by a mighty circle of snow-capped Andean peaks to the East, and a beautiful coastal range to the West.
