Torres del National Park is counted among the most remote yet very beautiful places of the earth, having an unspoiled feel about it. In 1978, Torres del Paine National Park was adjudged a Biosphere Reserve by the UNESCO and its mountain ranges, lakes, diverse flora and fauna constitute the major attraction of the place that tops the chart of Chile sightseeing .

Initially, Torres del Paine National Park belonged to the ranchers who were responsible for burning up the forest in order to expand the pasture area. It was then acquired by the government, but seems to be going through a period of convalescence. One of the major highlights of the park is the Paine Massif whose origin can be traced back to twelve million years. The highest peak shoots up to a height of 3050 meters, but Cuernos del Paine might appear more familiar as it features in almost every picture of Torres del Paine National Park. The park boasts of diverse vegetation that ranges from the grasslands to the beech forests to the south. There are some patches of the park that were too remote even for the ranchers and still retains the pristine feel about them. Among the animals who find a refuge in the park, the Guanacos and the Rheas feature prominently. The southern extreme of Torres del Paine National Park abounds in glaciers, lakes, lagoons and rivers . Sarmiento, Nordenskjold, Pehoe, Paine and Dickson are worth a mention. The Dickson River has three fascinating waterfalls, namely Paine, Salto Grande, and Salto Chico. Hiking is the best way to explore a park that coalesces varying elements together. Torres del Paine National Park has hiking trails that are safe and contains avoidable hitches. Lodges and campgrounds dot the trails making it a bit more easy for the trekkers. Other activities include climbing, kayaking, river rafting and glacier crossing.
