Trekking time

Start at 7 am

Destination
Torres del Paine National Park
The trek to the Base of the Towers is one of the most classic and spectacular hikes in the Park. We enter the valley of the Ascension River until we reach the Towers Campsite. From here we start up a moraine of granite rocks, which leads to the lagoon at the foot of the stunning granite towers.
We pick you up from your accommodation in Puerto Natales early in the morning, and we head to Torres del Paine National Park in private transfer. We leave the car at the trailhead and start a 7-8 hour hike of medium difficulty, which leads us to the base of the three granite towers, “Las Torres del Paine.”
During the approximately 3-hour hike through Ascensio Valley, we traverse a relatively mild terrain of peaks and valleys, until we reach the Towers Campsite. From here, the trail continues for another hour along a steep slope with stone steps. We then arrive to the foot of the three towers, which rise vertically 1,000 m, in front of a small glacial lake. Here, we rest and contemplate the imposing Towers while enjoying a hot drink. Then, we return by the same trail back to our vehicle, and we return to Puerto Natales.
