Day 4
Patagonia Camp / Base de las Torres ó Laguna Azul / Patagonia Camp
Following breakfast we'll head to the Las Torres sector for the trailhead for one of the most spectacular trek in Torres del Paine National Park, the trek to the Base of the Towers (alternative 1). For guests who do not wish to take part in this hike, we will continue to Laguna Azul (alternative 2).
Before arriving at the Torres sector, we will stop briefly at the Nordenskjöld lookout point to enjoy the incredible views of the French Valley, the Horns, and the Paine Massif.
Alternative 1
Trekking to the Towers begins at the entrance to the lovely Valley of the River Ascencio; from here we climb up the trail for 45 minutes, enjoying dramatic views of the valley. The trail continues through beech forest and finally reaches a glacial moraine, which presents the most difficult part of the trail. The reward for the climb up the moraine however is the spectacular view of the granite tower formations that give the park its name.
