TORRES DEL PAINE NATIONAL PARK
(Parque Nacional Torres del Paine) Is the most visited park in Chile! It was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for a very good reason! Paine has stunning Glaciers, granite peaks and is the home of native wildlife and flora. It is our beloved playground! A magical corner of nature that is always changing and surprising hundreds of people visit it each year. The Cordillera del Paine is the centerpiece of the park. It lies in a transition area between the Magellanic subpolar forests and the Patagonian Steppes. The park is located 112 km (70 mi) north of Puerto Natales and 312 km (194 mi) north of Punta Arenas. The park borders Bernardo O'Higgins National Park to the west and the Los Glaciares National Park to the north in Argentine territory. Paine means "blue" in the native Tehuelche (Aonikenk) language and is pronounced PIE-neh.[4] It was established as a National Park in 1959.
