The Torres del Paine National Park features rugged granite towers protruding up to 2800 metres out of the pampas. Around and between these obstacles are many trails and camping grounds for hikers, including the so-called 'W circuit' that passes by deep-blue, grey and aquamarine lagoons, dark peaks and icy-blue glaciers. In addition to the campgrounds there are also several spectacular five-star hotels, such as Tierra Patagonia at the edge of the park. 

Patagonia was once the stomping ground of the largest living creatures in the history of our planet. The 38-metre Argentinosaurus huinculensis, for example, weighed as much as 20 elephants. The giant was on the menu of the Giganotosaurus, which made up for its meagre 14-metre length witch enormous 20-centimetre teeth. Ninety million years later there are still traces of these creatures along the dinosaur trail in north-west Patagonia. Near Plaza Huincul, Villa El Chocón and Lago Barreales the fossil bones and paw prints are impossible to miss.
