Cuernos del Paine (Horns of Paine)

Patagonia · Chile

The Cuernos del Paine (Horns of Paine) are Torres del Paine National Park's most visually dramatic peaks — a cluster of dark sedimentary summits capped by granite intrusives that have been spectacularly uplifted and eroded into jagged horns. Seen from the shores of Lake Nordenskjöld, with the peaks reflected in the turquoise water, they form one of the world's most extraordinary mountain panoramas. The Cuernos' ever-changing light in the Patagonian weather creates a different photograph at every hour.
