ღ Patagonia ღ

ღ Torres del Paine National Park ღ

Sunset casts a rosy glow over granite peaks around a glacial lake in Chile. The 598,000-acre national park is a mosaic of land-forms; soaring mountains, golden pampas, grinding ice fields. At the southern tip of South America, Patagonia includes parts of Argentina and Chile.

ღ Torres Del Paine National Park ღ

ღ Moreno Glacier ღ

Rising above Lake Argentino as a rugged wall, 3 miles (4.8 km) wide and 200 feet (60 m) tall, this is one of 47 massive ice fields in Argentina's Patagonia Glaciers National Park. This grinding, groaning force of nature covers a hundred square miles (260 square km).

ღ Copahue Provincial Park ღ

One-hundred-foot (30m) tall Araucaria Trees surround a waterfall and reach for the stars in Argentina's Copahue Provincial Park. Living relics of the Jurassic period, these thousand-year-old giants stand as symbols of Patagonian tenacity in a severe and sublime landscape.

ღ Andes Mountain Waterfall ღ

The snowy peaks of the Andes spawn thousands of gushing streams and waterfalls in Patagonia. From majestic mountains to trembling volcanoes, Patagonia remains the unspoiled frontier of South America.
