Protected since 1970 and frequently nicknamed "Torres del Paine without the crowds" for the likeness of its granite spires to the celebrated neighbouring park, Cerro Castillo offers a landscape comparable in drama but with a fraction of the visitor numbers, thanks to its relative closeness to the Carretera Austral and to the recent improvement of its multi-day trekking trails.
