2. Torres del Paine National Park
Billed at the eighth wonder of the world to most people in southern Chile, the Torres del Paine National Park holds more than 181,414 hectares of ancient forests. Other features of the park include lakes, rivers, glaciers, towering granite peaks, and pampas.
Over 250,000 visitors head to the park to check out some of the world’s best hiking trails, the W Trek and the Paine Circuit. Founded in 1959, the park became a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978 to preserve its unique and natural beauty. Thanks to the reserve, wildlife is also well protected.
