What to expect

One of the most iconic trekking adventures in Patagonia. This full-day hike (approx. 10 hours / 24 km) takes you through forests, rivers, and rocky mountain terrain to reach the famous viewpoint of the Torres del Paine.

We begin early in the morning from Puerto Natales and travel to Torres del Paine National Park, entering through Laguna Amarga before reaching the starting point in the Cerro Paine Reserve. After preparing equipment and receiving a safety briefing from our guide, we start the ascent.

The first section climbs steadily to “Paso de los Vientos,” offering stunning valley views. We then descend to Refugio Chileno for a short break before continuing along lenga forests and crossing the Ascencio River. The final stretch is the most challenging, with a steep rocky path leading to the base of the iconic granite towers a world-famous viewpoint and the ultimate reward for your effort.

At the summit, we’ll rest, enjoy the scenery, and take photos before returning via the same trail.

A demanding but unforgettable experience, ideal for active travelers looking to discover one of Patagonia’s most breathtaking wonders.
