Chile · NATIONAL PARKS
Paine is the famous one, but the parks run the length of the country and most charge entry on top of the tour. The 4 below make the fees and the driving times clear before you commit a day to them.
Spend a long but rewarding day crossing from El Calafate to Torres del Paine, with waterfalls, lakes, wildlife, short walks, lunch, WiFi, and a bilingual guide.

Review of the 16-hour Torres del Paine day trip from El Calafate, with border tips, scenic stops, hiking details, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“Avoid! I booked this more expensive tour because it said small group of 10 people max. we were 40 in a small cramped bus for 17 hours. all the tours 1 day torres del paine are with another company, so this is just an agency booking the bus for you. I don't recommend booking with them they charge more for the same thing and are wrongly describing the tour! the seats in the bus are very small, we were 2 normal sized adults. because it is a large group everything takes longer.”
Review of a full-day Torres del Paine tour from Puerto Natales, with Grey Lake, Salto Grande, wildlife, Milodón Cave, and practical tips.
“Had loads of fun admiring the park and getting blown away by the wind lol. Our guide, Gabriella, was very lively and knowledgeable and kept everyone’s attention. Also felt v safe with Alex’s driving skills.”
Pick a desert, a vineyard or a glacier.
