Patagonia Park Plaza Kempinski, Patagonia

Advantages: Spacious, awe-inspiring, peaceful expanses, friendly people.. Delicious food and wine!
Disadvantages: Far but well worth it

...and purity in which this land, Patagonia, had soaked me in. A smile was forever etched on my face for having crossed it, and two more days in Bariloche (well yes, the New Year was already here, so what the hell? Chile can wait…) only served to make me fall even more in love with the place. And that is where I shall end my personal story. ************************************************************ If what you want is to really "get away from it all, and experience another world, then Patagonia should definitely be on your priority list of places to go.

Disadvantages: It's a bit far but most certainly worth it.

...The Torres del Paine National Park lies to the extreme south of Chile, in the Chilean Patagonia. To be precise, in the XII Región of Magellan and Chilean Antarctica (Chile is divided into 12 regions). The province is known as "Ultima Esperanza" (Last Hope). Hope is not a word I would use. Reality is more like it. Hopeful Reality. Or perhaps Realistic Hope. I am afraid Patagonia has stolen my senses, and senses I did not have a lot. So do forgive me if I seem to lose my mind. I left it somewhere there, wandering the Patagonian plains, lakes, forests and mountains. It is an area roughly 242,242 hectares large and was officially declared a National Park in 1975, and from this date to today, has been administrated by the National Forestry Service of Chile (Conaf).
