Glacier Parks in Chile

Chilean Patagonia has three great glacier parks. Torres del Paine combines granite towers with the Grey, Dickson and Frances glaciers spilling off the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, seen from the W and O treks or by boat on Lago Grey.

Bernardo O'Higgins, the largest park in Chile, is reached only by water, on day cruises from Puerto Natales to the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers or on longer voyages to Pio XI, the biggest glacier in South America. Laguna San Rafael, further north, has a tidewater glacier of the Northern Ice Field calving into a lagoon. The season is October to April.
