This area is of constant wind, which becomes more intense during the spring-summer when it reaches an average speed of 30 to 40 km\/h, decreasing almost entirely in winter. The Torres del Paine National Park<\/a> was created on May 13th, 1959 as National Park for Tourism Lake Grey and two years later received its present name. It is part of the National Protected Wilderness Area System of the State of Chile. We will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Natales early in the morning (around 7:30am) and drive towards hoster\u00eda Las Torres, from where we will hike uphill path to Ascencio Valley on the Tower’s eastern face. Dry mountain spots, beech forests and small rivers line the scenic walk towards the valley. Our big challenge comes as we climb the steep morraine, a mass of boulders leading us towards one of the world’s most famous views overlooking the Towers. The famous Torres del Paine (2,850 m\/ 9,350 ft) consist of three gigantic granite monoliths, the remains of a great cirque sheared away by the forces of glacial ice. After an uphill slog, the Towers eventually come into full view, rising majestically before us, with the glacial lake visible below. Is there any better place in the world to have lunch? After feasting on the view and our picnic, we backtrack along the same trail through Ascencio Valley and return to Puerto Natales (approx 5:30pm) We start off driving across the park, admiring the view of Paine Grande and its snowy peaks, and Los Cuernos with its black, granite horn-like spires. We stop at various viewpoints on the way to enjoy observing and photographing herds of guanacos, Andean condors and interesting flora. We drive up to Grey Lake and wander along the beach. Here we enjoy a tasty box-lunch by the lake before embarking on a boat ride across the icy waters to the towering blue walls of Glacier Grey. After this incredible up-close look at the glacier, we drive back to Puerto Natales.

\nBefore the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, Punta Arenas was the main port when navigating between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, being located in the Strait of Magellan. Thanks to this feature, the city experienced its peak of success, which made it a great cosmopolitan and commercial center in the southern tip of South America. This has left in the city\u2019s downtown area a certain European look in its design and outstanding architecture.<\/p>\nCity attractions<\/h3>\n

General information<\/h3>\n
\nIt was named Puerto Natales by the navigator Juan Ladrillero who cataloged it in one of his voyages, as his “last hope” to find the Strait of Magellan from north to south. In the end, their hopes were frustrated in this region heading south by the fjord which he later called Fjord Obstrucci\u00f3n and not encountering the Strait of Magellan.<\/p>\nCity attractions<\/h3>\n
