Pass By: Torres del Paine, Torres del Paine, Magallanes Region
The excursion begins by leaving the Las Torres hotel, at the foot of Mount Almirante Nieto. We will take a path to a suspension bridge that crosses the Ascencio River, which circulates the entire way. There a demanding ascent begins to the first peak where there is a view of lakes and valleys, after an hour of trekking upwards we will enter the valley itself to reach the Chilean refuge, where we will make a restoring stop. The first part consists of a young forest that has grown after a forest fire and then we will continue through a centennial lenga forest. Once we go through the forest we will arrive at Torres camp. Passing through a moraine left by the receding glacier in the valley, we will ascend to the Torres viewpoint, with an exceptional view of these granite towers that rise 2,800 m above a turquoise lagoon. We will enjoy this exceptional panoramic view and then begin our descent along the same route.
