Welcome to Torres del Paine National Park
Today transfer from El Calafate, Argentina to Torres del Paine, Chile. This overland transfer takes about 5 hours.
Upon arrival at Patagonia Camp enjoy lunch and a briefing about the many activities you can choose to partake in during your stay.
If timing and interests allow, you may opt to enjoy a hike to Los Azules viewpoint. This easy two hour hike is an excellent introduction to the region's landscapes and scenery, with views of the Macizo Paine, the Cerro Tenerife, and the many shades of blue of Porteno Lake and Lake Bull. Other options are available as per your preference.
Patagonia CampTorres del Paine, Chile
This unique lodging offers views of Toro Lake and the Paine Massif. Relax in deluxe yurts surrounded by nature, but with all the creature comforts.
Base Torres Trek
If you are up for a challenge, today you may choose to do the Base Torres Trek. This famous, but demanding hike takes you across the Ascensio River and up to the Paso del Viento Pass, allowing panoramic views of your surroundings. From here descend to the Refugio El Chileno shelter for a rest before continuning on. You'll find yourself in a pre-Andean scrubland bioclimate, but this quickly changes as you climb higher, through ancient lenga tree forests until you reach the Torres Glacier moraine. Continue upwards to the Base of Towers viewpoint, your goal for today's challenging trek.
Should you wish to partake in an easier hike, Patagonia Camp has a variety of options from which to choose.
French Valley Hiking
Today you may opt to hike one of the three main attractions of the W hiking circuit: the French Valley Hike. This hike begins at Pudeto Pier, where you take the catamaran across the turquoise waters of Lake Pehoe to the slopes of Paine Grande Hill. Make your way to Italian camp before crossing the moraine of an old glacier in the middle of a wooded valley until reaching the scenic French viewpoint.
The catamaran is at an additional cost and the catamaran crossing of Lake Pehoe is weather dependent.
