Continue with the transfer approximately 10 minutes more to reach the beginning of the walk in the sector of the Hotel Las Torres. The Trekking to Mirador de las Torres lasts approximately 4 hours. On the way we will pass through the Chilean Refuge and then an intermediate point between the Las Torres Refuge.
At this point the final climb lasts approximately 40 minutes, until you reach the Las Torres base where you can observe the famous lake and Torres glacier, Monte Almirante Nieto, Cordón Oggioni, the biodiversity characteristic of the area, and above all, the Torres del Paine.

It is recommended to go up with a bottle of water (you can go from the springs that are on the way), a snack (cereal bar, almonds, nuts). The trekking sticks are not essential, but they are a great help for those who are not accustomed to this type of hiking.

It takes place every day of the year, except January 1 and December 25. In the winter season, crampons or non-slip insoles are given to travelers to avoid slipping.
The maximum height is 850 meters above sea level, and the ascent is 680 meters.
No, you must bring your food from Puerto Natales, although there is a small kiosk at the campsite and the El Chileno refuge, it has very little variety and is much more expensive.
The Base Torres hike is not for the faint-hearted, but the views are second to none. The path can be quite crowded, which takes away a bit from the wilderness experience, but the scenery is so spectacular that it’s understandable why it’s a popular destination. Prepare for unpredictable weather and start early to enjoy the sunrise at the peaks!
iking to Base Torres was an experience of a lifetime. The trail challenged me in the best way possible, with its steep ascents and rugged terrain. Reaching the viewpoint and seeing the iconic towers up close was an emotional moment – truly a reward for all the effort. The turquoise glacial lake at the base of the towers is a sight I’ll never forget. A must-do for any avid hiker!
