Introduction
The national park Torres Del Paine is named after the 2000 metre tall granite pillars that dominate the landscape of the park. In additional to the towers, visitors can see glaciers, lakes, waterfalls and wildlife. There are a number of multiday hikes that visitors can undertake.
The park is located roughly 112 kilometres north of Puerto Natales and 312 north of Punta Arenas. Argentinian El Calafate is not that far away either.
