Full Day Base of The Towers

We are going into the Park through the Laguna Amarga entrance, admiring Mount Almirante Nieto and its thick hanging glaciers together with the mythical Torres del Paine, three imposing granite giants rising 2850 m/9,100ft into the sky.

Once at the parking area, we are leaving the car behind to start our hike toward the viewpoint for the Torres del Paine by a trail up the Ascencio River valley. Along the hike through dense beech forests (Nothofagus pumilio), we will stop to admire lakes, waterfalls and hanging glaciers. After around three hours we will start to ascend a steep moraine towards the top viewpoint for the Torres del Paine at 900 m.a.s.l. (2,950ft). There, we may be rewarded with an up-close view of the massive granite towers and the turquoise glacial lake at their base, located in a rugged mountain terrain of truly breathtaking beauty. We will have lunch and relax in one of the most unforgettable settings in the world. Then we will take the same way back to the vehicle for our return to Puerto Natales, tired but happy with our adventure.
