“Really enjoyed this hike - we were lucky and had great conditions, and also our guide Sebastian was very nice and cheerful! The other guide stayed behind with a couple of people that didn't complete the main hike. We had to wait for them to finish before heading back (quite late as they were quite slower than the rest of the group), so I wouldn't recommend to do a group hike if you are on a tight schedule for the evening - but otherwise it was a great experience!”

“If you are planning on hiking Mirador Base Torres, this is the best way to do it. Chris was an excellent driver who delivered us safely from our hotel to the park and back, and Margo was such a fantastic guide. She has a wealth of knowledge about the nature and history of Torres del Paine which added tremendously to our experience, and she is an awesome lady who deeply loves the environment and it is so felt. Best guide ever and couldn’t recommend this experience more!! Thank you Margo & Chris!! ❤️”

Trek to Torres del Paine’s famous granite towers from Puerto Natales with a guide, transport, packed lunch stop, and a full day in Patagonia.
“This trek is fantastic! We were very lucky with the weather and I am sure on another day it would have been quite miserable, but with the sun out and our tour guides (Alex and Janina) on hand to support us and empower us to trek at our own pace, we were able to take in the views of the stunning scenery in a really great way. I would recommend anyone going to Patagonia to do this trek. It is a long day, but doing it through the tour made the transport to the park easy and made the day simple. The view at the base of the towers is…”
Review of the full-day Torres del Paine Base Towers hike from Puerto Natales, with route details, costs, fitness advice, guides, and practical tips.
“Moderate hike is an understatement. The suggested mileage should include the additional 5 miles round-trip to trek from the parking lot to the trail head. Inspect your lunch items before you set out on the hike, and be prepared to supplement with your own preferences--every ounce matters in an 18 mile day, so only take what you'll want to eat. Make sure you take enough water. There may not be a place to refill on the trip. The restrooms cost money at the rest area / campsite halfway through the hike. The description says the limit is 5 people in a tour, and we felt weighted down with 7--not sure…”
