		The Torres del Paine is an absolutely ridiculous collection of mountains and lakes squeezed between Argentina and the Pacific ocean in Chilean Patagonia, not far from where Chile turns east at the bottom of the continent.

		Torres del Paine and the country around it is one of the rare habitable pieces of land that never had an indigeneous population.

	Torres del Paine, Chile
		The culmination of this spectacular region, which the Chileans call Patagonia del Sur (South Patagonia), is Torres de Paine National Park, a 700-square-mile region of sheer granite spikes and towers that are among the most beautiful peaks on earth.
		Torres is Spanish for towers, and these ones, lying at the southern end of the great Andes mountain chain, soar abruptly and exuberantly from the terrain, like a sheaf of exclamation points.
		The most celebrated of the massif’s peaks are the Cuernos del Paine (Horns of Paine), which look as though they frothed up out of the earth and then were beaten into shapes that resemble the peaks of a meringue topping.
