Grey Glacier

There are two options for hiking to the Grey Glacier, either from Torres del Paine's trails or as a multi-day hike with stunning views of the lake & glacier. The most popular multi-day hike is the Full Circuit, which entails hiking along the eastern shore of Lago Grey and up to the glacier. Other options include a day hike around the park, or a boat trip on the lake to see the glacier.

French Valley

The French Valley can be reached via an excursion from Torres del Paine National Park. Visitors must begin their journey from the Pudeto Ranger Station on the shores of Lake Pehoe. This station is fed by the Paine River. Hikers will arrive at the French Valley trailhead by taking a catamaran for half an hour across the lake.

Cerro Paine Grande

A Cerro Paine Grande hike from Torries del Paine to Cerro Paine Grande might be for you if you are an experienced hiker. The Cerro Paine Grande, at 3,300 feet, towers over the valley. It is also the highest point within the Paine Massif. Nearby Los Cuernos towers over 2600m. These majestic peaks can be seen from the W-walk. You can also take a boat ride over Lake Grey to reach the Grey Glacier, an immense glacier that is part of the Patagonian ice field. Once you are there, there will be endless opportunities for photos.

Mirador las Torres

One of the most famous views in the world can be seen from the top of Mirador las Torres del Puente, a hike in southern Chile's Torres del Paine National Park. It offers stunning views of three granite towers, a turquoise lake and is impossible to capture on film. The Spanish word mirador (view of the towers) is the name for the hike.

'O' Circuit

The 'O' Circuit hike to Torres del Paine is an intense six-day trek, with the most challenging day on Day Three. The Mirador las Torres summit is the most popular view in the trek. The trek will be cut by five km on Day Three, and elevation gains will be greatly reduced by the Camp Chileno second night. The O Circuit is a great option for those who are physically fit and do not mind camping for a week.

W Trek

To access the W Trek start, you will need to purchase a ticket from the park's website. You can also call the Park Service at 1-800-464-88663. The trek itself takes eight days and you have many options for getting to Torres del Paine. The most popular route is the W Trek, which starts and finishes in Pudeto. You can also book a bus ticket to go to other tourist destinations within the park.

FAQ

When traveling, what should you remember?

Traveling is a time when you are often faced with situations that require quick decisions. So be prepared to improvise.
