Patagonia & Torres del Paine

January 21 – 28, 2011

Encompassing 615,000 acres of expansive grasslands and the fantastic pinnacles of the Andean mountains, Torres del Paine National Park is a stunning UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and Chile’s premier Patagonian destination.

Here peaks of twisted, snow-dusted granite—endowed with waterfalls, emerald lakes, and verdant valleys—tower above the plains of Patagonia. During our three days in the park, accompanied by our leader, we take every opportunity to observe the unique flora and fauna of the region. Nearly 150 native animal species reside in the steppe and forested areas, including Patagonian foxes, vicuñas, and guanacos. And among the 100 species of local birds are the high-stepping lesser rheas, the New World’s largest bird, and the elegant Andean condors that soar high above the landscape.

In addition to our time in Torres del Paine, we enjoy a stay in the colorful village of El Calafate, our base for exploring Argentina’s Glacier National Park.
