Torres del Paine

For the end of the trek we left the most recognizable symbol of the park and a place where you will surely remain breathless. After breakfast, we start by bus for Torres del Paine, and then on the ascent and after 1,5 hours, we arrive at the mountain chalet where we make a short break. We keep walking by observing the condors that compel us.

The final part of the trek is also the most challenging, but the prize that awaits us at the very top is incredible. You will definitely remember the view that will be provided from the Mirador del Torres point. Return back to the campsite, from where we board the bus and return to Puerto Natales. Dinner and overnight stay.
