Hikes:
Cerro Castillo
Cerro Castillo, with its imposing presence, is one of the emblematic mountains in the vicinity of Torres del Paine. This excursion takes guests through a variety of landscapes completely unique to Chilean Pa- tagonia allowing one to observe Lake Porteño, Lake Toro, the Paine Massif, Sierra Baguales, Las Chinas River, Cerro Tenerife as well as providing glimpses of Grey Glacier in the distance. We begin the day by heading out into the countryside through a forest of Ñirre beech trees before star- ting the ascent to the peak of the mountain. Halfway along the trail we will enter an ancient forest of Lenga beech trees which is a perfect haven before we attack the peak via an exposed ridge that leads us to the top. The path is surrounded by large walls of sedimentary rock which form a high plateau giving us a 360° view of the beautiful nature of Chilean Patagonia.
Base Of The Towers
This is one of the most iconic routes in Torres del Paine National Park forming an essential segment of the “W” circuit. This demanding excursion deserves all of its famed reputation, for the level of difficulty as well as for the unforgettable view that it offers - if the weather permits. The trail is located in the eastern part of the National Park in the Ascencio Valley, a natural gateway, where the intense and progressive trek begins for a hike that is full of great lookout points to view the rivers, streams and sides of the mountains. We will climb through forests of Lenga beech and Andean shrub-land before tackling the glacial mo- raine composed of blocks of granite that have been exposed to the harshness of the Patagonian cli- mate. Upon reaching the Towers Lookout we will find ourselves in one of the most famous postcards from this part of the world, in an amphitheatre of rocky peaks and glaciers.
Paine Massif Lookout
This is an excursion which is exclusive to Patagonia Camp; on this trip first we will drive for around 20 minutes from the hotel to the Grey Lookout and from here we will head up the trail towards one of the most stunning lookouts in Torres del Paine. After hiking along winding paths surrounded by old forests and lagoons we will get the impressive views of the Paine Massif, Grey Glacier, part of the South Patagonian Ice Field and the Serrano Valley.
Then we will begin our descent passing a group of hidden lagoons with the path wide- ning to reach a ravine filled with Pre-Andean Scrub and Lenga forests where we may be able to see the Magellanic Woodpecker with the Serrano Valley providing the backdrop.
* There are more than 20 self-guided hikes to choose from depending on length of time and difficulty.
