The Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia hides two of the most beautiful natural reserves of the planet: Torres del Paine (Chile) and Los Glaciares (Argentina) national parks. The granite towers, which change colours throughout the day, point to the sky, proud and inaccessible. These parks, a paradise for climbers and trekkers, are also an aesthetic wonder where the abundant fauna is not afraid of posing for photographers. Guanacos, ñandus, hares, foxes etc., have found a shelter there and constantly surprise the passing visitors. Patagonia is a succession of waterfalls, glaciers fading away into unexpected coloured lakes, icebergs floating like vessels adrift, and the wind blowing unceasingly. From Punta Arenas, we will discover the main features of the Chilean and Argentina Patagonia.
