The peaks of Torres del Paine National Park are some of the most distinctive in the world. The park is named after the spectacular Torres del Paine: three imposing granite pillars, overlooking a surreal turquoise lake, which are the favourites of so many trekkers that their status is practically mythical. However, the famous Cuernos del Paine are even more beautiful: so strikingly unusual that they could almost be the setting of a children’s fantasy story, their otherworldly appearance is hauntingly beautiful and utterly unforgettable, especially at sunrise and sunset. There are legions of other beautiful mountains too: they are steep-sided, jagged, swathed in vast blankets of the whitest snow, adorned with enormous sparkling glaciers and unattainably high. This wonderful mountain range is best experienced on one of the park’s incredible treks: the O, the W and the Q.
