Torres del Paine: Base Torres Trekking｜Chile

Embark on a challenging trek to the base of the Torres del Paine, the most frequented route by visitors to Torres del Paine National Park. Enjoy the beauty of the flora and fauna of Torres del Paine National Park as you trek through the Ascencio Valley, the Lenga forest, and the glacial moraine.

Start your trek to Campamento Chileno. Throughout the journey, appreciate the beauty of the flora and fauna of Torres del Paine National Park. Continue the walk for a few minutes until you reach the Ascencio Valley, where you walk along a narrow path until you reach the Chilean camp, a stop where you can use the restroom.

Cross a stream, encountering landscapes completely different from the first stage, much greener and with nearby forests. In this stage of the Base Torres Trekking, there are fewer ascents and a less demanding path compared to the first stage of the trek. After approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, walking through the Lenga forest, see the Hanging Glacier "Martina."

Once you reach this point of the Trekking to the Base of the Torres del Paine, it is the moment when the last and also the most difficult and demanding stage begins. You must cover one kilometer, which may seem little at first glance, in constant ascent and among rocks.

Although at first glance, it may seem that there is no trail, you will see that there are sticks among the rocks, with red marks indicating the path you should follow. Additionally, initially, it may seem that the ascent is done in a straight line, making it seem much more demanding than it really is.

Once at the Base of the Torres del Paine, only feel nature, silence, or the whisper of water, surrounded by one of the most incredible environments you will ever experience on your trip, which you will never forget. After its moment, the return begins along the same trail, then heading back to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.
