The Cuernos del Paine The characteristic black rock that crowns the Horns of the Paine is a chronicle of the tectonic and glacial forces that carved this bulk. More than ten million years ago, this type of sedimentaria rock covered ample areas in the region. At some moment these rocks had contact with the magma of the interior of the Earth which gave form to granite rocks. Soon, the colossal pressures of the entrails of the planet made rise these impressive mountains that today we know like the Towers of the Paine. When the glacial eras arrived, the ice covered all the region. They only excelled the tops of the highest mountains. When retiring the ice, in the open left the granite, on which the black rock was conserved that had not been covered by the freezing. Due to the previous today we can appreciate enormous Towers with different colors in a same bulk, which without a doubt is one of the greater quiet spectacles of Patagonia nature.
