Before your trip, the Vertice Travel operations team will contact you to schedule an in-person briefing in Puerto Natales, led by a specialized coordinator.
During this session, you will review the day-by-day itinerary, the difficulty level of each segment, key schedules, and transport logistics in detail. You will also receive recommendations on clothing and equipment, learn about the rules of Torres del Paine National Park, and be provided with essential information regarding safety and emergency contacts.
This session is designed to help you resolve all your questions before starting your journey, ensuring a well-planned, informed, and safe experience.
At the end of the briefing, you will receive your complete travel documentation, including a printed detailed itinerary and all service vouchers or tickets. You will also be provided with the box lunch for your first day of trekking, along with a welcome kit containing useful items for your experience.
This experience begins early, departing towards Torres del Paine National Park. You will travel among the vast Patagonian plains before arriving at the main entrance at Laguna Amarga, where it is required to register with CONAF (park rangers). Here you will transfer to the “Las Torres” shuttle, which will take you to the Visitor’s Center. Register yourself at the Cerro Paine Reserve and then follow the trail signs to Serón camping
Today’s hike begins with the Ascencio Valley as it snakes through windswept hills and widespread forests. During the final ascent, you will traverse an immense boulder field until reaching one of the most iconic mountain viewpoints in the world, the Base of the Towers. At an altitude of 900 m.a.s.l., you will marvel at the sheer granite walls of the 3 towers (north, central, and south) and the bright turquoise glacial lagoon at its feet. Take some photos and have lunch before following the same path downwards to Torre Central refuge. After a long day of hiking, enjoy a warm dinner in the lodge.
Although it is considered one of the easiest hikes of the circuit, the trail to Serón offers many breathtaking landscapes of the untamed side of Torres del Paine National Park. You will walk through a beautiful forest and continue by a pleasant hillside that descends towards an endless pampa of daisies, in the Patagonian plain. Continuing along the relatively flat path towards Serón, you will see crystal clear streams. After arriving to the campsite, you will have some time to enjoy the immense size of the land before dinner, which will be served inside the small, but cozy, dining room of Serón.
Head out on a long hike through rolling hills and humid plains inside the park. Snow-capped mountains, pastel blue lakes, and vast expanses of grassland will be the backdrop as you explore the northern side of the park. Be amazed by the imposing views of the Dickson glacier, the Cubo hill, and other jagged peaks that mark the division between Chile and Argentina. Once you reach the Dickson area, check in and spend the evening walking the rock-strewn shores of Dickson lake, all before a replenishing dinner at the refuge
Today the walk will take place in the most remote area of the park, in the middle of a lush and green vegetation. You can feel the wind blowing in the middle of the bushes and hear the pleasant sound of Magellanic woodpeckers. Bordering Los Perros River, you will ascend a giant moraine where you will be breathless by another picturesque mountain as a backdrop, the wonderful Los Perros glacier and its cyan-blue lagoon below. Continue along a rocky trail before reaching Los Perros campsite, which will be your accommodation tonight. Rest up, you have got a long day tomorrow!
Take a breath and get ready for the most demanding day of this circuit but, at the same time, a very rewarding one. After having breakfast early in the morning at the quincho and requesting for your box lunch, you will begin to make your way through gnarled tree roots and large mud puddles, under the green treetops. Leaving the forest, you will begin the ascend through worn and loose rocks (sometimes with snow) until you reach the highest point in the circuit, the famous John Garner Pass (1,200 m.a.s.l.m). Surrounded by the strong Patagonian winds while you are impressed with the Southern Ice Field and its wonderful sea of ice, the descent is made by the side of a giant wall of ice and the trail is continued by El Paso campsite, where there is a park ranger outpost. Then, you will go through the exciting hanging bridges before arriving to Grey for dinner and a well-deserved rest.
Enjoy your breakfast at Grey refuge before you start marveling at more spectacular sceneries of the Southern Ice Field and the icebergs of Grey lake (remember to ask for your box lunch!). You will hike up through a mountainous forest until you reach the sometimes very windy Grey glacier viewpoint. Continue the hike until you arrive to Los Patos lagoon, where you will begin the descent through a narrow and windy valley that takes you directly to Paine Grande.
Get an early morning start for an all-day hike to the core of the park. After breakfast, request your box lunch and prepare yourself for a day of jaw-dropping Patagonian landscapes. Travel through barren lands and bordering the enchanting blue waters of the Skottsberg lake. After approximately 2.5 hours of hiking, you will arrive to the Italiano campsite, where you will begin your journey up to the French Valley. Climb through the immense rocky terrain and continue until you reach the French plateau, where you will be rewarded with impressive landscapes of Los Cuernos, turquoise glacial lagoons and wonderful hanging snowdrifts that fall like waterfalls along the east side of Paine Grande mount (3.050 mts). If you are lucky, you will hear the water rumbling and the thundering sound of water and ice crushing down! It is also a point where avalanches can be commonly observed. This is the ideal time to take some photographs and enjoy your box lunch, all before descending back to the Italiano campsite and finally return to Paine Grande. Then you must take the catamaran that will take you back to Pudeto, where you will take on the regular bus to Puerto Natales.
