What to do and see in Chilean Patagonia, Chilean Patagonia: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

November 10, 2021 Kelli Reichel

Dazzling fjords and vertiginous Andean peaks cover Chile's best-known region, turning this slim swath of land into a playground for skiing, whitewater rafting and trekking. To the north lies San Rafael Lagoon National Park with its impressive ice fields. In Patagonia's southern stretch, the city of Punta Arenas is the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park, which attracts serious climbers and casual day hikers to its granite peaks, glaciers and waterfalls.

Torres del Paine National Park

A hiker's dream, this national park contains huge granite mountains surrounded by clear lakes and a series of well-maintained trails that vary in degree of difficulty.

I have been to many beautiful places from Alaska to Iceland, but this place is a world apart. It's label as the 8th wonder of the world is spot on. I drove around this park with my wife and son and had to stop around every corner to take a photo, and the views just kept getting better. The best view by far was from the top of Mirador Condor (which is where the photo was taken), The air is the freshest I have ever breathed and the views are something out of a painting. We rented a car and winged it, enabling us to go wherever we wanted.This place should be on everyone's bucket list.

Catedral de Marmol

Reviewed By gmloubr2018 - Albuquerque, United States

The so called marble cathedral and marble caves was the most memorable area we saw in Chile. We were in Chile the whole 2019 and visited every one of their regions. We went to the Atacama desert and the town of San Pedro de Atacama. We went to the Torres del Paine area. But the General Carrera Lake was the highlight of the year. We went to Puerto Rio Tranquilo and took a "full day" boat ride that took us to the marble cabinets area and then to the marble chapel, marble caves and to the marble cathedral. Here are a few photos.

Capillas de Marmol

Reviewed By Farmlabourer - Dumfries, United Kingdom

A wet and fast boat trip to the caves followed by a gentle tour in an out of the caves. A lot of explanation but all in Spanish but the main point is what you see. The longer trip is probably worth the extra cash for a more relaxed time in the caves.

We had one of our favorite tours ever with Ecoturismo la Pancha! It was a bit last minute, but we wanted a kayaking adventure in Patagonia while we were in Puerto Chacabuco and so happy we came across this one! It’s a family owned business that really cares about giving a unique experience. We had two children (ages 4 & 6 years old) and they set us up with double kayaks! The weather was typical Patagonia weather (rainy, sunny, cold, warm!) and the setting was absolutely gorgeous on the lake and river. Half way through, we went to the mangroves in the river to enjoy a snack and matte- what fun!! Then back to the grounds where we were greeted with a warm cozy fire and delicious array of fresh made Chilean snacks and hot chocolate. Even fresh salmon ceviche!! Yum!!! The family is so nice, the setting beautiful and experience is truly one of a kind!! Highly highly recommend!!!

Our guide brought us here to wrap up our full day Paine tour, and it was the perfect way to end the day. Magnificent views toward Cuernos del Paine from a small hill at the lookout, and if you pack a snack or beverage you're able to enjoy it in one of the camp shelters nearby after.

MIrador Las Torres

Reviewed By darkbluesparkles - Oxford, United Kingdom

We did this hike with our 11-month-old baby in a hiking backpack. I would say this hike pushed us right up to our very limits and I wouldn't want to do anything tougher than this. That said, I would do the hike again if it was our first time. There were a lot of people on the trail when we went, and we were never alone. It is imperative to wear STURDY WATERPROOF shoes that go over your ankles, as you will be hiking IN a stream (not along, I do mean IN the flowing water) for about 15% of the total distance. The last scramble was not as bad as I'd anticipated, but obviously very tiring. The most dangerous part, in my opinion, is the first part of the descent over the rocks - GO SLOWLY. It took us 9 hours round-trip, including lunch, photos at the viewpoint, and two nappy changes (once at the camp right before the final ascent, and once at Refugio Chileno on the way down). The view at the top was amazing and there's lots of space to sit for lunch. It wasn't that windy, though there were a few snowflakes on the way up. For those with babies going up, you can use the bathrooms for free for nappy changes, just ask the staff (who speak English). We opted to do it on a picnic table outside for space reasons, and it wasn't that cold.

Great experience: high quality museum, picturesque fort and nice walk. It is also very well managed. We went with our rented motorhome and got assistance all the way to make sure we could drive smoothly
