Picturesque Patagonia
Explore the pristine Patagonia region, a place where clear blue lakes contrast against towering
A PLACE OF NATURAL BEAUTY
One of South America's most stunning regions,
Patagonia is a nature and wildlife lover's
paradise. This wild and rugged land is filled
with ice cathedrals and peninsulas abounding
with birds and marine life. On a clear day,
panoramic views and exotic animals are
everywhere and the towering, snow-capped
mountains, turquoise lakes and huge glaciers
look almost too good to be true. Spanning over
a million square kilometres, Patagonia has
many worlds to discover.
TORRES DEL PAINE PARK
Soaring more than 2,000 metres above the
Patagonian lowland, the Torres del Paine
(Towers of Paine) pillars dominate the landscape
of South America's most impressive national
park. Amazing flora and fauna will be
encountered throughout. It is within this park,
for instance, that a great number of flamingos
gather and massive herds of Ostrich-like
creatures called ñandú roam. Azure lakes,
emerald forests, roaring rivers, and looming
peaks further add to the beauty of this visually
stunning part of South America.
RELAX AT HOTEL LAS TORRES
Located inside the spectacular Torres del Paine
National Park, Hotel Las Torres is an outstanding
property that features a day spa, an organic
garden and a huge range of activities. Each of
the hotel's many windows look out over the
expansive steppe or snow-capped mountains
surrounding it, including the trio of granite
towers that gave the park its name.
Accommodation offers superb vistas with a cosy
atmosphere, a perfect setting to relax and enjoy
after a long day's excursion.
