Torres del Paine — Granite Towers

The story behind the place

These steep rock forms give Torres del Paine its name. Their granite began as molten rock beneath the surface; later erosion and ice helped reveal and carve the dramatic walls. Each tower has a different silhouette. Look for the broad central mass and the narrow fluted faces beside it, with small traces of snow caught among the rock.
