History Tour in Torres del Paine
Every street in Torres del Paine carries echoes of the events that shaped it. Stand in front of Lago Nordenskjold and the past stops being abstract — the buildings, monuments, and neighborhoods survived to tell their tale. Quieter sites like Salto Grande hold stories that the crowds at the major monuments never hear.
Torres del Paine National Park is a 935-square-mile wilderness in Chilean Patagonia, famous for its three granite towers (the Torres) rising to 8,530 feet and the dramatic horn-shaped peaks of the Cuernos del Paine. The park contains glaciers, icebergs, guanaco herds, and one of the most famous multi-day treks in the world — the W Trek. Patagonian weather is notoriously fierce, with winds regularly exceeding 60 mph.
