This granite massif is the dramatic centrepiece of the national park of the same name, which is home to some of the most stunning scenery anywhere.

Due to its well-deserved reputation, the Torres del Paine national park is in great demand and receives more visitors every year. The high season during January and February is the best time to go to avoid the cold weather, but also the busiest time in the park. During these months you will find the popular walking trails relatively crowded and if you plan on staying in the park you will need to book up your accommodation in advance.

The popularity of the park does not detract from the impressiveness of the geography and only those visitors who had notions of visiting a wilderness area might be disappointed. There are still plenty of true wilderness areas in Chile to visit, but this park is no longer one.

Neither of these options is great if you want some luxury but don’t want to break the bank or if you want to see more of the Magallanes region than just the park. However, since last year there is a new hotel called Remota that fills the gap nicely. It is located just outside of Puerto Natales with great views out over Dorita Bay. Remota has good comfortable rooms, a spa, a very sociable and relaxed restaurant and excellent guides who will help you plan your excursions into the Torres del Paine park, but also other trips in the Magallanes area, like the cruise through remote fiords to see the Serrano and Balmaceda glaciers.

However you do decide to visit this southern most tip of the world, you won’t be disappointed by the spectacular natural beauty.
