Readers of Afar have pegged Torres del Paine as the “Best Adventure Destination of 2018” in voting for the California magazine’s People’s Choice Awards. The Patagonia national park beat out other top adventure trips like kayaking Alaska’s Glacier Bay, horse trekking in Mongolia, tracking polar bears in Canada and swimming with whale sharks in Mexico for the honor.
Quotable quote: “Forget the teachings of Wild and Eat, Pray, Love: The way to truly find yourself is near the end of the Earth, where the scenery skews otherworldly with snow-capped mountains, home-sized icebergs, emerald greens, deep teal blues—and no other souls for miles.”
