Patagonia in a New Light (NY Times): "Patagonia is no longer the far-flung destination it once was, only for the dedicated trekker or mountaineer. Tourism in Torres del Paine (pronounced PIE-nay) has boomed in recent years, with North Americans, Europeans and wealthy Latin Americans flooding the park in the high season, December to April."
The author of the article describes a trek made with a companion, with information about the challenges, highlights, difficulties and travel tips and places to stay. There are several new lodges that offer comfortable accommodation out of the weather, which can be temperamental and severe even in summer, plus tasty typical cuisine.
Explore Torres del Paine National Park and trek the Torres del Paine Grand Circuit.
