Trekking Mirador Base Torres with guide

The hike to the Base Torres Viewpoint is a round-trip trek on the same trail. The outbound hike covers about 6.8 miles (11 km) with an elevation gain of 2,460 feet (750 meters) and takes around 5 hours.

Early on, you’ll reach the Paso de los Vientos, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Ascencio Valley. The trail continues to the Chilean Refugio, an ideal spot to rest and recharge.

From there, you’ll hike through a beautiful lenga forest before tackling the final, more technical stretch—crossing a rocky glacial moraine—until you reach the iconic Base Torres viewpoint. It’s the perfect place for a well-earned break and jaw-dropping views of the granite towers.

Return to Central Sector
