Mirador Base Las Torres

I hiked at the end of November and was lucky with good sunshine. The weather is varied, so be prepared for sun, rain, cold, and gusts. I would not enjoy the peak season with so many hikers. The last 3km were unexpectedly steep and rocky. The trail closes at 3 pm about 3km away from Mirador Torres. The peaks are impressive and the highlight of the park. A must-see when visiting Torres del Paine for the amazing views. I highly recommend starting very early or staying at Refugio Chileno to start early. If you can catch the sunrise, you'll see otherworldly scenery and beat all the traffic jams of buses dropping people off at 8 am. An unforgettable memory. Hiked on January 8, 2024. Left Campamento Chileno at 3:45 am and arrived at Base Torres at 5:20 am - missed the first light but the sun rose around 5:45 am. The first part of the hike in the dark is easy, well-marked, and flat. The last 30 minutes of the hike are a tough climb. It's easy to stray off the path on the rocks, but you can keep to the trail by following others or keeping GPS close. This place. One of my favorites in the world. After walking the W for 4 days, I had the privilege of having them to myself for about 50 minutes before heading back down. It's a really tough walk, but I'm happy I saved them for the last day!! Unfortunately, I was too tired to get up for sunrise, but I got there around 10 am, and it felt like I was among the crowds, and on my way down around 11 am, I passed about 100 people who were all there together - I was so thankful to my guardian angel for that treat. So here's a tip for others. At the top, it's very windy and cold. Bring all the layers, snacks, blankets, and other things you can to be comfortable when enjoying the spectacular views or the golden hour.
