Trekking to Base Torres from Puerto Natales

Price from
$145.06 per person
An excellent trekking excursion of 9 to 10 hours in total (ascent and descent), which will take you with our certified guides to the Torres Base viewpoint.

Pick-up takes place in the morning between approximately 6:15 and 7:00 at your accommodation.

Then we will head towards Torres del Paine National Park, after a 2-hour drive, we will arrive at the starting point of our hike.

After a briefing from our guide, we'll begin our hike along the trail toward an ancient bridge that crosses the Asencio River. After a 1-hour hike, we'll reach Camp El Chileno, nestled in the shade of a spectacular lenga forest, crossing several slopes that drop off Mount Almirante Nieto.

After a brief stop, we'll continue our journey to the next viewpoint, at an altitude of 700 meters. From here, the trail becomes steeper. Half an hour later, we'll reach Las Torres Base at the eastern end of the lagoon, where we'll enjoy spectacular views of the three towers and Mount Peineta and Mount Nido de Cóndores. With this view, we'll have time to rest and enjoy our box lunch. Then, we'll return along the same path until we reach the starting point, where we'll board the vehicle that will take us back to Puerto Natales.
