The Base las Torres trek begins by zigzagging through the Asencio Valley (around 90 minutes). Our efforts will be rewarded with a pristine view of Lake Nordenjköld. Afterwards we will walk under the former glaciers of a snow covered mountain, Monte Almirante Nieto, reaching a height of 2670 m above sea level.
The guide will make sure to take breaks. The path eventually slopes down, but can go up and down as much as 200 feet because it winds around the mountain along with the rushing river below. After a couple of hours of trekking we will enjoy a well-deserved rest at the Chilean refuge.
It is recommended to buy the entrance to Torres del Paine Park before leaving for the tour.

What to expect
Later, we head towards the Torres del Paine National Park, and after 2 hours of travel, we will arrive at the starting point of our walk.
After a previous talk by our guide, we will start walking along the path towards an old bridge that crosses the Asencio River. After 1 hour of walking, we will arrive at Camping El Chileno, in the shade of a spectacular lenga forest, crossing several slopes that fall from Mount Almirante Nieto.
After a brief stop, we will continue our way to the next viewpoint, at an altitude of 700 m. From here, the trail increases its slope, half an hour later, we will reach Base Las Torres at the eastern end of the lagoon, from where we will have a spectacular view of the three towers and the Peineta and Nido de Cóndores hills. With this view, we will have time to rest and have our box lunch. Later, we will return along the same path until we reach the starting point, from where we will take the vehicle that will take us back to Puerto Natales.
