Torres del Paine National Park
Mejor época para visitar
From November to March, summer in the southern hemisphere, the days are longest, the winds are weaker, and the trails are open. Start at dawn for the best light and calm trails, and keep backup routes for rainy days.
Consejos para el presupuesto
The entry ticket for foreigners costs about 25,000 to 35,000 Chilean pesos, valid for 72 hours, so plan your days and buy online so you don't wait at the ticket office. Take food and water from the nearest town for the trail, because prices in the park shops are higher.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Tres torres de granito se elevan hasta 2.800 metros, y en el parque viven libremente unas 100 pumas, que suelen verse al amanecer cazando. El territorio nacional abarca 2.400 kilómetros cuadrados, y el agua de los lagos glaciares brilla en un tono turquesa lechoso debido a la harina glacial.
Destacados: Al amanecer, justo antes de que salga el sol, las tres torres de granito brillan en un naranja ardiente, un espectáculo que dura solo unos 20 minutos, como carbones encendidos en el valle sombreado. Cuando te acercas a la laguna debajo de ellas, el aire huele a granito frío y bosque húmedo, y la harina glacial vuelve el agua de un azul pastel.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear three layers of clothing and a waterproof jacket, because the wind in Patagonia can jump to 120 kilometers per hour in minutes.
- Book accommodation in the refugio months ahead for the summer season, when the places get filled up to 90%.
- Go out with a headlamp at dawn for the pumas, and for the clearest shot of the towers, aim your lens right around 6:30 before the sun rises.
- Skip the 16-kilometer trail to Grey Glacier when you have little time, and take the boat across the lake for close-up shots of the ice walls.
