New! Paine Towers Lodge Adventure
Created in 1970 and given World Heritage status in ‘78, Torres del Paine Park — one of the world’s most stunning mountain destinations — boasts dense southern beech forests, rolling meadows swathed in daisies and lupines, multi-hued lakes bobbing with turquoise icebergs and immense glaciers clawing their way down from the only Continental Ice Cap outside of the poles. This wonderful, soul-inspiring wilderness offers what many feel is South America’s best hiking experience. In addition, this relatively un-traveled region supports 105 species of birds including flamingos, swans, upland geese, ibises, Magellanic woodpeckers, penguins and condors as well as unusual flora like the evergreen southern beech and deciduous apple-berry bush. Towering above it all are the awe-inspiring spires whose near-vertical walls are world-renowned. Comparing favorably to Yosemite, Paine should be on every hiker’s list. view details
