Overview

The Base Torres trek is one of the most popular group-guided tours available in Puerto Natales, a perfect alternative for travellers who only have one day to tour Torres del Paine but don’t want to miss the incredible views of the Mirador Base Torres. This tour is offered all year round. Even in winter, many travellers are encouraged to hike to the viewpoint (for winter tours, crampons are used to ensure the safety of the group of up to 15 people). In addition to transport and mountain equipment, the tour includes a professional guide and an assistant, so all travellers will be accompanied, regardless of the speed at which you walk.
