An early start is always a smart choice to make the most of your day. But Las Torres Patagonia offers you an added advantage: an unbeatable location within Torres del Paine National Park.
This blog will outline the many advantages of staying in one of our accommodation options, which offer you seamless access to different areas of the reserve.
Here, adventure lies at your feet. Just step outside the hotel door and enjoy extraordinary excursions surrounded by nature.
Conquering Base Torres Viewpoint is a challenge that every visitor to Torres del Paine National Park has in mind when arriving in the region. And if you are staying at one of our accommodations, you can start your trip to this incredible destination even earlier.
If you are staying at Hotel Las Torres, our excursions start before the Amarga Lagoon entrance and Welcome Center open, giving you a head start and allowing you to enjoy the trails in greater privacy with your group.
Moreover, you only need to exit the hotel to begin your journey; no additional transportation is required. The adventure begins as soon as you step outside the hotel.
If you are staying at our campsites in the Chileno sector or at our mountain stays or campsites in the Central sector, you will also benefit from this advantage and have a much smoother arrival. This leaves you more time to enjoy the highlights of this full-day excursion to Base Torres Viewpoint.
Our hotel is unlike any other in the world. Many hotels around the world are located in big cities, in the shadow of other buildings and connected to roads of all kinds.
Hotel Las Torres lies in the shadow of Mount Almirante Nieto, a colossal peak with everlasting snow. Every evening, it closes the curtain on the day, blocking out the sun and revealing the beautiful colors that can only be seen in Patagonian sunsets.
Guests staying in the right wing of the hotel can enjoy the colorful spectacle of Patagonian sunsets, while those in the left wing can wake up each morning to the vibrant hues of sunrise.
This is coupled with a natural setting where Patagonia's flora and fauna are visible everywhere you look, so you can simply step outside your room and stroll through the hotel grounds, admire the native flowers, and watch birds like queltehues, colegiales, chincoles, cometocinos, and Chilean swallows flying overhead.
Las Torres Patagonia offers multiple lodging options within Torres National Park, strategically located to accommodate visitors' travel itineraries and facilitate the excursions of your choice.
For those who want to be at Base Torres Viewpoint first thing in the morning, we have a campground in the Chileno sector, which is the halfway point for this full-day hike.
This is the closest accommodation to the viewpoint. There is a café, bathrooms, showers, and several campsites with tents either on the ground or elevated in the air, with all the amenities.
Staying in the Chileno sector lets you start your hike to Base Torres halfway to the viewpoint, so you can recharge overnight, grab a hearty breakfast at our café, and be just a couple of hours away from one of the world's most impressive geological wonders.
Another advantage of our location is the horses. These faithful steeds are your ticket to exploring the national park.
Our reserve, located within Torres del Paine National Park, allows us to offer exclusive horseback riding tours, enabling our guests to explore breathtaking natural landscapes in Patagonia such as Ascencio Canyon, Lake Nordenskjöld, and Encantado Valley.
Our horseback rides can also complement your trip to Base Torres, where you can ride through the Ascencio Valley and Los Vientos Pass, ending your journey with this gentle animal in the Chileno sector. You can then continue on foot to the viewpoint. Our horses will be waiting for you where you left them for the trip back.
Discovering Patagonia on horseback is a practice that goes back decades, when baqueano horsemen traveled these lands looking for ways to get to the region's main points. Horseback riding in Patagonia is an experience you can't miss.
