Adventure Express in Torres del Paine (2 days)

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1Trekking Base Torres⌄

   We start our journey to Torres del Paine National Park. After 2 hours of travel, we arrive at the Portería Laguna Amarga for registration at CONAF. Then, we head to the Las Torres Reserve Welcome Center, where our guides will perform an induction before starting the Trekking, the most emblematic route in the park and one of the most famous in the world. The trekking, 22 km round trip and medium-high difficulty, takes place in the company of our guides for about 8 hours. The effort is rewarded by arriving at the Mirador Base Torres, from where you can enjoy an unrivalled view of the towers, next to its glacier lagoon. There, we will enjoy our box lunch in front of this stunning natural setting. After a well-deserved rest, we begin the descent through the same, where the vehicle awaits us to move to Camping Pehoé, located in the heart of the park and next to the lake of the same name, famous for its privileged views of the Massif Paine.
