We depart from your accommodation in Puerto Natales heading towards Torres del Paine National Park via Route 9.

After an hour and a half of travel, we will arrive at the Laguna Amarga Entrance, where we will register at the CONAF facilities. We will then head to the Welcome Center of the Las Torres Reserve, where our guides will give a pre-hike briefing as we prepare to begin the Base Torres trek, the most famous in the park and one of the most renowned in the world.

Along the way, we will be accompanied by our guides on a 22 km round-trip hike, lasting approximately 8 hours, along a medium-high difficulty trail that will gradually immerse us in the mountain environment.

We will begin walking along the trail towards an old bridge that crosses the Ascencio River. After 1.5 hours of hiking with a moderate incline, we will reach El Chileno Refuge, located on the banks of the Ascencio River, where we will rest and have a snack.

We will continue through a dense Lenga forest (Nothofagus pumilio), crossing several streams that flow down from Mount Almirante Nieto, until we reach the end of the forest, where we can rest for a few moments before starting the ascent to the viewpoint.
