Puerto Natales: Base of the Towers Day Hike

1.Base of the Towers Day Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 727 reviews · 15 hours · from $90Our pick

Puerto Natales to the Base of the Torres hike is a tough full-day trek with bilingual guides, included poles, and glacier-stream views.

“Our hike was great, the weather was perfect although hot at times so wear layers. The guides were brilliant with patience and a positive attitude. The hike itself is quite challenging in the first half (11K) with a steep climb so keep this in mind. There were multiple stops for a rest & water with a base with a cafe, toilets, drinking tap at the 6K/16K mark which was appreciated! Overall it’s such an accomplishment at the end and worth it when you get to the top!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 106 reviews · 14 hours · from $88

14-hour small-group hike from Puerto Natales to Base Torres, WFR guides, pickup, poles, and photo time in Torres del Paine.

“The crew was amazing. We did two trips with this agency and Alan, Cecci, Cami and Pedro are very caring and spread a good vibe. They explained a lot during the hike and totally met our needs. The start of the tour is early, but we arrived before the other buses that are coming from Puerto Natales. You must be aware that there are many people on the track so it wasn‘t too crowded when we started our tour. And backwards you don’t have to wait for your shuttle because the driver will be right there to pick you up. The hike takes a long time but it’s definitely worth…”

Glacier Hike at El Morado Glacier, from Santiago

6.Glacier Hike at El Morado Glacier, from Santiago

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 51 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $150Top rated

From Santiago, hike El Morado to the San Francisco Hanging Glacier viewpoint with a small-group guide, lunch, and early-morning logistics.

“What a great hike! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The hike is about 9 miles round trip, the first mile is somewhat of a steep hike, but then it levels out for awhile, and gets a little steep again for the last half mile or so up to the viewing point for the glacier. Our group was relatively fit, so we finished in 4 1/2 hours I think - I could see this being a difficult hike for those that aren't very active. Our driver and guide, Gonzalo, was fantastic - very knowledgeable about pretty much everything we asked him, and had great advice about future trips…”

Half-day hike to Villarrica’s south side plus Geometric thermal springs with 20 pools, red walkways, and ravine views near Pucón.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Bos. The intense uphill was so worth it, as Bos was a supportive and smart navigator. We saw four volcanoes from the top! And the fact that the trek ended in these extraordinary hot springs was so unique -- most tour operators do not have access to this land. Highlight of our trip to Chile.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $138

Small-group Base Torres hike from Puerto Natales with an English/Spanish guide. High-difficulty trek, no lunch included.

“We did a Base Torres hike with Patagonia Planet. These were some of the most spectacular views we have ever seen. Our tour guides, Carlos and Chris, were experienced, friendly, and helpful to both us and the other people on this trip. Please note, this is a pretty tough trip. It is for people with hiking experience only, but the views and scenery are more than worth it. The box lunch we were provided was excellent, a delicious salmon sandwich, accompanied with gorp, chocolate, and an energy snack for snacking along the way. They supplied the trekking poles which were very helpful on the ascents, so no need to bring…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 28 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $196

Full-day Base Torres hike from Puerto Natales to the Paine Towers, guided trek through valleys and forests, transport and boxed lunch included.

“This trek is challenging. I did it in under the average 8 hours and my body was tested. Lots of ‘uphill’, often clambering over a path full of rocks and small boulders. Uneven stepping to say the least. After the first 20 minutes, it’s a constant climb for 1.5 hours. And the final ‘push’ is another 45 minute climb. Coming down, it’s easy to lose your footing and slip/slide. I did this 3 times - and lived but have the bruises. Better shoes needed than the runners I had. But…the experience beyond the physical test is wonderful. Amazing scenery and a ‘destination’ that is truly breathtaking. In short, it’s ’worth…”

Private 4-hour Patagonian forest hike from Punta Arenas with binoculars, trekking poles, boxed lunch, snacks, and a Cerro de la Cruz viewpoint.

“The tour was late due to some guests cruise was late, so we had to rush because we had a cruise to catch after the hike. The tour operator did everything to help us to get back in time so we appreciate the effort and the communication was excellent. However, the forest was not the most interesting, good exercise and that's it.”

15.Juncal Andean Park: Hiking over a Glacial Tongue

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $220

Hike through Juncal Andean Park, hike over the Juncal glacier, and spend the day in Ramsar wetlands with expert guidance from Santiago.

“Friendly, professional and knowledgeable guide, Nicholas, who balanced chatting, providing information and listening to the silence. Water and substantial box lunch provided. The hike ascends along the valley floor with the scenery and arriving at the glacier more than worth the effort. Plenty of opportunities for great stills and video as the perspective and light changed throughout the day. Highly recommended.”
