Breathtaking landscapes! We stayed in Puerto Natales (Pousada Trotamundos), We rented a car (Tom rent a car), and visited the park for three days. We went to Mirador Base das Torres, Blue Laguna, Amarga Laguna, Mirador Nordenskjold, Mirador Cuernos, Salto Grande, Mirador Pehoe, Mirador Condor, and Lake Gray. All very good, but I highlight the base of the Towers, Cuernos and Condor. To make the base view of the towers has to be well prepared, we did all the route in 9h (1h at the base), has two stops both with bathroom and water, and the first stop has snack options and drinks. Important to be with the right clothing, waterproof trekking shoes, thermal clothing, waterproof and wind cut. Taking the Gray Lake, which is closest to Portaria Serrano, the other points suggest going through the entrance of the Amarga Laguna because the access to the entrance is all asphalt despite being further away from the city, but still worth it.

Torres del paine is spectacular, the views are very beautiful, the wind in December blows very cold so it is indispensable suitable clothing (windbreak). The weather is unpredictable so you have to be prepared for everything. In our case we did the trekking based towers with Onteaiken Patagonia and the guide (Melissa) was excellent. Very knowledgeable about every corner of the park its flora and fauna, and helping us all both up and down because it is very demanding the tour, but completely worth it. The arrival at the base of the towers is an epic moment. We also did the full day with Patagonia Planet, it is divine to go to the most beautiful viewpoints in the park and if you are lucky you will see: cougars, huemul, guanacos, foxes, condors (was our case). So I highly recommend it.

I made a backpack with my girlfriend through Patagonia without a car :). The park is stunning, it was my favorite place. To get/be in it there are several ways. The most well-known are circuit W and O by Vértice Travel - dear and for those who have very prepared body, mesh, etc & professional equipment. Ways to get to know - full day with BUS SUR (don't go with small companies - they will be much less time, will have a perrengue, etc). You can buy online and the service is great by WPP. The exit is Puerto Natales. Yagan House is a pleasant accommodation in Natales. In this same street (Bernardo O'Higgins 584) has accommodations not so nice, but fair to backpackers for half the price. Another way to get to the park paying cents is to go by the bus of the workers that leaves the highway station (the same that leaves in the curve of the Milodón - another wonderful walk, worth much a vibe ice age). It's not a full day, but it's a way for those who have time to see the park from another angle. The two possible accommodations for those who are not rich and have no car are: Hosteria Pehoe and Camping Pehoe. They are the first accommodations in the park. They are in a beautiful lake. It is possible to make very nice trails from them and if you have a car, even better -- we managed to pick up a lot of carriages inside the park and the buses from Bus Sur can help to a few sights - but they literally leave at the door of the Pehoe lodging. The big shit of Patagonia is the wind that reaches 120km. rain covers, metal bottles and two thermal bottles will help a lot throughout the trip - the lodges always have hot water, which helps a lot to prepare food that is very expensive.

If you’re considering hiking to the iconic Three Towers in Torres del Paine National Park, go for it—it’s challenging but absolutely worth it! The trail includes uphill climbs, rocky terrain, and breathtaking views. Despite not training or preparing, I managed it, and I’d describe myself as being in decent shape (I can run a mile or walk a few miles without issue). If that sounds like you, you’ll be fine. Otherwise, there are plenty of shorter hikes with stunning scenery. The trekking poles provided by my guide company were a game changer—they made navigating the rocky sections much easier. Whether you choose a guided hike or go independently, don’t miss this opportunity. Be sure to get your park pass online ahead of time and save a screenshot for quick entry. Torres del Paine is an unforgettable experience with trails for every level. Don’t hesitate to explore this incredible part of Patagonia!

Amazing landscapes, well-structured park and tours for all ages! I visited with a small child so I could not perform long trails, yet it was worth it, even in the smaller trails the landscapes are breathtaking, the windstorms are an attraction apart. I believe that even for people with reduced mobility the visit is worth it, the views, even from the car are breathtaking and on the trails there are several stops in viewpoints and wonderful lakes. Just visit, this place is a prime work of nature, prepare for strong rains of wind and possibly cold (even in the summer)... The trails are relatively easy if you are used to the trails of Brazil.

It was beautiful and we would come back. We are traveling with the Womi, the camping is very clean and, depending on the place, a beautiful view over the lake or at the back of the camping a bit windless. Great for hiking starting point. Very well maintained, is very different from Argentina. What made us a little bit puzzled is the issue of waste. We were very unkindly asked to take our waste with us. Admission is not exactly cheap and camping is not free.

Amazing experience. be aware of that the weather can change greatly. We had everything between 33 to 50°F ( Patagonia summer) Also know that there’s absolutely no transportation within the park so if you need to move from one location to the other, services are called from Puerto Natales which is two hours away, making any trips over hundreds of $$$. We tried to transfer from Eco Camp to Rio Serrano and we were quoted a whooping $500. The distance is about 1:40hr. If you make arrangements with a taxi or shuttle service in Puerto Natal directly, the cost is $135 Keep in mind that EcoCamp does not offer cell coverage nor Wi-Fi to make own arrangements unless done before. Beautiful Park. It can get busy. Great adventure but extremely costly if staying in/ or close to the park.

Stark, remote national park in Chile. Miles of protected land. Amazing hiking trails. We rented a car and drove from puenta arenas. It's more flexible to have car to stop at various look outs. Always fill fuel and have emergency fuel ready. The lodge near moreno gives 10 ltrs of fuel. The drive is with unpaved roads get a suv. We stayed at moreno lodge and after we drove through the park stayed at Cerro Castillo. We spent a day at the park. We did multiple hikes at various look outs- condor, horns,. There are two places we know to eat cafeteria, Centro has a food truck. We lucked out with gorgeous weather. The mountains are absolutely stunning. Wind speed is crazy so dress accordingly and I benefitted from hiking poles. Wear layers.

Bring all of your lenses! Breathtaking scenery. Very easy to navigate and friendly for photographers, campers, and hikers of all types. We navigated this park easily in a Hyundai we rented in Puerto Natales. Our best sights were found hiking less than 3 miles. Plan on a wide variation in weather but consistently windy. The infrastructure and facilities were just right. As with most parques magnifico, there is almost no cellular service. Signage is in Spanish with some English translation. Bringing printed maps can help find trailheads and sightseeing spots. I heard a park ranger using Starlink on his phone. Clean bathrooms were available at ranger stations within a 10-20 mile radius. I would rate the natural wonders in this park as high as Yosemite or Glacier National. I read someone thought it was as good as Yellowstone but I disagree. This park has grand vistas, waterfalls, and geologic formations but YS has that plus more native macro fauna and colorful volcanic oozing stuff. During the week you will enjoy sharing TDP park with fewer tourists.

Torres del Paine National Park is a wonder to behold. It definitely feels like the remote end of the Earth. We rented a car and drove through the park taking lots of time to stop at the lookouts, take short hikes and see the guanacos and waterfalls. Although the roads are mostly dirt, with an all wheel drive vehicle, the flexibility of driving is a wonderful way to go. Take a map previously printed or download one to your phone because cell phone access is not available. We took a few wrong turns, but every misstep was an adventure.
