National Geographic’s TRAVELER MAGAZINE named this trip a 2012 Tour of a Lifetime
December 3 – 15, 2012 and March 11 – 23, 2013
Southern Chile & Argentina share an immense, sparsely populated expanse divided by the Andes Mountains, commonly known as Patagonia. Rising from the flat Patagonian steppes with breathtaking abruptness, the craggy mountains of Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park are an astonishing sight. Torres del Paine is the crown jewel of Chile’s national parks. Because of its exceptional ecological significance, in 1978 UNESCO designated the Park as an International Biosphere Reserve. The dramatic granite mountain spires, the spectacular glaciers, and the haunting winds draw visitors from around the world. The abundance of guanaco, the probability of seeing Andean condor soaring overhead, and the possibility of sighting an endangered huemul or an elusive puma, all add to the allure. As one of our volunteers said, “Wow! Wonderful trip! The wind has whipped away my words.”
