EcoAdventures - Custom Vacations to Patagonia

Over 1400 miles south of Santiago lies the area known as Patagonia, on the northern banks of the Strait of Magellan. The city of Punta Arenas has a wonderful view of Tierra del Fuego, just across the strait, and is the push-off point for visiting Paine National Park.
Towers of Paine
This park, the largest national park in the world, is filled with some of the most beautiful and awesome scenery on earth. The jagged peaks of the well-known Towers of Paine, formed by massive glacial movements, drop dramatically into a lake, and wildlife such as the Andean giant condor, huanaco (the 4th member of the South American camel family), deer, red fox, native ostriches called "nandu," gulls, swans, ducks and flamingos abound. The climate of this area is cold in winter, with gale force winds, but the summers are mild, with an average temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit during days, which have twenty hours of sunshine. Obviously, Spring through Fall, from October through April, is the ideal time to visit!
