Operated by us from Punta Arenas when a group forms; Natales departures are coordinated with partner agencies

Before payment, we confirm the departure city, group and assigned guide. A guide stays with the group throughout, with a second guide added when group size or pace requires it.

The Base Torres trail takes you over slopes, through forest and across a final stretch of rocky ground. At the viewpoint, a lagoon lies beneath the three granite towers. Both the ascent and the return require time and physical effort.

What the experience involves

Allow 9 to 10 hours of walking, plus transfers. A guide accompanies the group throughout. Trips can be arranged from Puerto Natales or from Punta Arenas when a group forms; the latter requires a much earlier departure.

Before you travel

You need good fitness, hiking footwear and protection from rain and wind. Cloud cover affects the view of the towers. Before booking, tell us about your hiking experience and check park admission arrangements for your date.

Is there an option with less walking?

Yes. The Torres del Paine and Milodón Cave day trip explores the park by vehicle with sightseeing stops. It is a separate excursion.

How the booking is confirmed

  • If direct payment is enabled for the tour, you can pay immediately.
  • For tours requiring confirmation first, send your date and passenger count. We coordinate with the team or sailing company and send payment instructions once your place is confirmed.

Sending an enquiry does not trigger an automatic charge or secure a seat until we send confirmation.
