Lying between the Andes Mountains and the Patagonian Steppe in southern Chile, Torres del Paine National Park is regarded as one of the most spectacular scenic spots in South America. Blessed with great natural beauty across its ridges, glaciers, waterfalls and lagoons, the park was designated as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1978.
