Landscapes

Atacama Desert

In the north of Chile, the fearsome Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on earth with a rich and rugged terrain.

Patagonia (Chile)

Where Patagonia meets the Andes, the dry steppe becomes a landscape of mountainous, snow, ice, lakes, fjords, channels, islands and changeable weather systems from the Pacific Ocean.

Patagonia (Argentina)

On the opposite side of the Andes to Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine, lie more glaciers, mountains and lakes before the landscape returns to the Patagonian steppe.
