Patagonia is a vast region shared by Chile and Argentina and is a place that, for centuries, has amazed both locals and guests alike with its immense glaciers, blue lakes, snow-capped mountains and endemic fauna. Patagonia is very much unspoilt and so extensive that even today, there are still places where no person has set foot. The most iconic destination in the Chilean Patagonia is the Torres del Paine National Park, known for its soaring mountains, bright blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers, emerald lakes, hidden waterfalls, lush forests and golden pampas (grasslands) that shelter rare wildlife such as the guanacos, rheas, condors, endemic deer and pumas, among others. A visit with Chilean Wings Travel to this tranquil part of the world promises close encounters with nature, complemented by the best lodges and cruises, all in total comfort and style.
