Torres del Paine National Park, one of National Geographic Traveler’s Top 10 in the “Paradise Found” category, is home to a wide variety of ecosystems, making it a prized asset within Chile’s protected natural wildlife areas. The park’s biodiversity in flora and fauna is due to the four main types of ecologic communities: Patagonian steppe, Pre-Andean shrubland, Magellanic deciduous forest, and Andean desert. These interspersed communities are home to 120 bird species, 25 mammal species, and 270 species of flora, which earns the park the title of UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve.
Torres del Paine is a top location for birdwatchers worldwide. Out of this incredible amount of fauna, the “Patagonia 5” — akin to Africa’s “Big 5” checklist of must-see creatures— consists of the puma, condor, huemul, guanaco and ñandú.
