Torres del Paine is clearly one of the most amazing national parks in Chile and Patagonia, and therefore it is for many travelers the main attraction in the far South of the country and many times the main reason, why people travel the long way at the End of the World.
Since be beginning of the devastating forest fire on Dec. 27, 2011, these travelers are now searching alternative tour options in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.
We would like to do our part in showing these alternatives to Torres del Paine in a clearly arranged way.
Our first post in this blog was nothing more that copying and pasting the tour options, which we have been publishing on our own website for years. That was simple and fast.
Nevertheless, it is important to empathize that this is not about personal profit based on a severe catastrophe!
This is what this is all about:
- We would like to inform English speaking travelers about the latest news about the wild fire in Torres del Paine National Park.
- We would like to prevent that on top of the fire one of the region's most important economic sector, tourism, collapses.
The later could especially effect small and medium-size businesses in Puerto Natales that work in tourism in and/ or around Torres del Paine and through that simply make their bred-and-butter.
With this blog, we would like to invite the local community to get together even closer and offer help to help themselves by publishing tour alternatives on this blog, which are currently not part of our own programs.
