By Jeep "The view from the hill, covered with hundreds of spiky, phallic-looking cacti, some of them blooming with yellow flowers, was amazing, and the surrounding sea of salt, tessellated with geometric crystals, did indeed appear to lap at the rocky shores."
By Foot and Horse "The Torres del Paine tower over what is probably South America's finest national park. On foot and by horseback, I skirted shimmering lakes, followed sprawling glaciers and crossed rushing rivers to stand beneath these granite pinnacles."
By Bike "The best cycling was through the Cordoba Pass, a slither of a road snaking through weird, weathered rock formations and red mountains that are home to puma, hare and condor."
