    The Republic of Chile is a long and narrow coastal strip on the western side of the South American continent, located between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. It borders Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. Its climatic regions differ vastly and include the driest desert in the world (Atacama) in the north and an Alpine climate in the south. First settled by migrating Native Americans, then ruled by the Inca and later colonized by the Spanish, Chile is today one of South America's wealthiest and most stable nations, it measures highly in all manner of international rankings. Chile prides itself on its nickname of "Country of Poets" and was home to Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral, two Nobel Prize winners. Tourism has grown steadily in the last few decades and there are countless awesome natural sights to behold, e.g. the Valley of the Moon, Chungará Lake, the Parinacota and Pomerape volcanos, Patagonia, and Easter Island, to name but a few. Summer is from December to March, when locals concentrate in the coastal beach towns in the north or in the region around

    Guide book to treks at the southern tip of the Andes in Chile and Patagonia, with emphasis on low-impact trekking. Routes include the Torres del Paine Circuit (10-11 days), Half Circuit (4-5 days) and other 2-day treks: Laguna Verde, Rio Pingo and Laguna Azul. Many other routes and information on mountain refuges and how to link routes together.

    Seasons
    December–April. January–February is high season, when most visitors arrive, so can be a little crowded. Overall March is best.
    Centres
    Puerto Natales is the gateway to Torres del Paine, and also the base for short trips to the Balmaceda Glacier and Sierra Baguales. There are multiple bases in the national park itself.
    Difficulty
    No technical difficulties, but the Torres del Paine Circuit is a long and, at times, remote undertaking from which there is no convenient exit point half way through. Sudden changes in weather, gale force winds and torrential rain can turn it into a far more difficult undertaking.
    Must See
    The magnificent granite spires of the ‘towers’ (Torres), and distinctive, banded form of the ‘horns’ (Cuernos); vast glaciers (Grey, Tyndall and Dickson) spilling out from the largest sheet of ice in the southern hemisphere outside Antarctica; beautifully unspoilt southern beech or lenga forest; rich and varied animal and birdlife; remote valleys and immense, cloud–streaked skies.
