Trail Description
The classic day hike of Torres del Paine, climbing to the foot of the three granite towers that give the park its name. The trail follows a windy valley then a brutal boulder field to a glacial lake beneath the spires. A long, tiring day, and the towers are famously shy behind cloud.
