Granite towers, blue glaciers and pumas in Patagonia, near the end of the world. Here's what Torres del Paine is like with the family and when to go.
Park tickets and campsites must be booked ahead. Check entry rules on GOV.UK before you book.
November to March is summer, with long days but strong winds. April brings autumn colours and fewer people. Winter is cold and quiet, but clear and still, and a good time to track pumas.
Sail up close to the face of a huge blue glacier.
A boat across a turquoise lake below the Paine horns.
A short, steep climb to views of lakes and mountains, with condors overhead.
A full-day hike to the famous granite towers. For fit older children.
Go out with a tracker for a chance to see a wild puma.
Ride across the steppe with local gauchos.
Yes, for active families with children who enjoy walking. Lodges and boat trips make it doable without camping, and the scenery is jaw-dropping.
Four to six nights in the park, as part of a two or three week trip to Chile or Argentina.
No, British passport holders can visit Chile for a holiday without a visa. Check GOV.UK for the current rules.
Fly to Santiago, then on to Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales. The park is about two hours by road from Puerto Natales.
Put Torres del Paine on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
