Chile and Patagonia Holidays & Cruises - Torres del Paine Tours & Packages

Chile and Patagonia holidays & cruises and Torres Del Paine tours and packages will take you to a stunning region that occupies the southern third of both Chile and Argentina. Even by Andean standard the landscapes are awe inspiring, with rugged snow-capped mountain peaks, enormous icefields, calving glaciers, icy blue glacial lakes, beautiful waterfalls, fast-flowing rivers and steep-sided fjords. The southern part of Chilean Patagonia is cut off from the rest of the country by immense ice packs, with the only access by air, boat or through Argentina. Because of this remoteness and their shared ranching traditions, in this part of the world the locals often consider themselves Patagonians first, and Chilean or Argentinean second.
 
Torres del Paine tours & packages allow you to explore Torres Del Paine National Park - the jewel of Chilean Patagonia, with its fantastic snow-topped granite peaks. At nearly 1,000 square miles, it is one of the largest and most visited national parks in Chile and one of the most scenic in the world - with mountains, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls and fast flowing rivers. Over half the region is a protected wilderness area, so on Chile and Patagonia holidays & cruises you can enjoy nature walks, horse riding, trout fishing, cycling and many other outdoor pursuits.
 
Walking and hiking in this breathtaking World Biosphere Reserve is particularly popular, with many trails at different levels of difficulty, ranging from a short walk to the gruelling W Trek. On Torres del Paine tours & packages you can even don ice shoes and walk on the Gray Glacier. Wildlife lovers can look out for the ostrich-like rhea, foxes, condors, flamingos and many other bird species. On Chile and Patagonia holidays & cruises, if you are fortunate you may even spot the elusive pumas, a mountain lion that hunts guanaco, a camelid closely related to the llama.
 
The small port of Puerto Natales is a good base from which to start Torres Del Paine tours & packages, as accommodation inside the park is very expensive. It is a one-hour drive to the park, and along the way you can visit the Mylodon Cave where the remains were found of a mylodon, or giant sloth, that died more than 10,000 years ago. The more southerly town of Punta Arena is the port from which most Patagonia cruises depart, sailing through deep-sided fjords lined with breathtaking waterfalls and glaciers, and through the Strait of Magellan - the famous channel that separates the island of Tierra del Fuego from the South American mainland. Most Patagonia holidays & cruises detour to Cape Horn, before disembarking at Ushuaia in Argentina.
 
Combine your ideas with our expertise and let us help you create a holiday of a lifetime. We offer a wide range of options at different price points, all of which can be tailor made to your needs.

More information on Chile and Patagonia holidays & cruises, and Torres del Paine tours & packages :
 
On Chile and Patagonia holidays & cruises, most flights from Santiago arrive at the southerly town of Punta Arenas, from where you can take a tour to view penguins. At the nearby Marino Francisco Coloane Park you can watch dolphins, orcas and humpback whales. This is the only place in the southern hemisphere, apart from Antarctica, where they regularly gather to feed.
 
One of the biggest attractions on Chile and Patagonia holidays & cruises and Torres Del Paine tours & packages is fly fishing, due to the size, variety and profusion of fish species found here. These include brown trout, rainbow trout and steelhead.
 
Bird watching opportunities on Chile and Patagonia holidays & cruises  and Torres Del Paine tours & packages are equally impressive, as you can see peregrine falcons, giant petrels and delightful rockhopper penguins in their thousands. It goes without saying that the entire area is a photographer’s paradise.
 
If trekking is your passion, try the famous W circuit, which over five days takes you to all the main Torres Del Paine National Park attractions. Whether you stay in 5-star accommodation or camp, and whatever activities you do, you will want to utilise all the seventeen hours of summer daylight on Torres Del Paine tours & packages.
 
On Navarino Island, southeast of Tierra del Fuego Island, you can take on the Dientes de Navarino trek, the southernmost trek in the world. Puerto Williams on the island is the southernmost town, with Ushuaia on the Argentinean side the southernmost city. Porvenir, the main town on Tierra del Fuego Island, is home to the Fernando Cordero Rusque Museum, which showcases the history of this ‘The Land of Fire’, including the fascinating story of the indigenous Selk’nam people.
