Torres del Paine is a magical area to explore. We were there for 2 days hopefully to see it's 2 major attractions - the 3 towers and the 2 horns (cuernos del Paine). On the way to these attractions you pass by many viewpoints so have your camera close by you. The blue of the lakes is so vibrant due to the mineral glaciation brought down by the water. You friends will think you will have 'enhanced the colour' - it is so blue. Hikes can be easy moderate or difficult. You have to decide how fit you are and how long you wish to be walking for. We were in a small group (6) with a guide and were pleased that we did not have to consult maps. That was taken care for us. We were also fortunate that the sun was shining on both days making it more special. You could not of hoped to see the tops of the Towers and Horns in any better weather conditions. A terrific way to end our 5 week holiday to South America, Antartica and the Falklands.

Wonderful, amazing, awesome. One if the best places on this earth for a visit. Must spend at least a week to do justice. Lots of places to walk, trek, hike, explore, take pictures. No wonder it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We spent two nights there and we drove 5 hours there from El Calafate. The road inside the park is a little bumpy with gravel road. The weather was not stable in December with lot of rains. You shall allocate 2-3 days minimum and hopefully to get one whole day with good weather for an 8 hour day hike to see the peak. There are longer hiking trips that you can easily spend 5-10 days there. From the cost perspective, it is more expensive on Chile side than Argentina's El Chaten due to currency difference.

The views and hikes are world class as has been stated many times. The roads are horrid. Jagged rocks, boulders, washboard, potholes, uneven surface transitions. Rental car suffered a blown tire. The bus and tour van drivers would just prefer to run over you than share the road.

Jaw dropping views all over the park. It’s incredible how beautiful this park is and it is truly one of a kind.we rented a car and wish we had rented a 4x4. We had an SUV but cars were passing us left and right at much higher speeds. The roads are not paved and bumpy as all heck if you don’t have a 4x4 equipped vehicle. Overall, the park is simply spectacular. Driving around the park’s outer edges we felt like we were the only ones at the park. The views are stunning. The grey glacier tour is awesome as is the Mirador Cuernos hike. Saw quite a few guanacos too. One of the most beautiful places on the globe, for sure

Torries del Paine was amazing. Of course, so was the Argentine side. I think the choice of which option in Patagonia is fairly obvious, depending on what you want to do. • If you want a multi-day hike, go to Torres. • If you want to stay in town in your own hotel room and still do extraordinary day hikes, go to the Argentinian side. If you are on a month plus trip, obviously seeing both makes sense. If you are on a typical American’s two week trip, use the precious time seeing other parts of those two amazing countries. Normally, the biggest negative to a multi-day hike is carrying pounds of food, water and camping equipment. The W-Trek has solved that. Clean water is available frequently along the trail. Food can be provided at the refugios. The refugio set up also means you don’t need to carry a tent and sleeping bag. You even have the option of sleeping in their tents that are already made up for you. So if you’ve ever considered through hiking, this is absolutely the place to start. Getting in and out of Torres is a bit of a pain. There are hotels close by that offer shuttle buses over the dirt roads. But that puts you on their schedule. In El Chelten, the two best hikes start right from the edge of town. I’d much rather start when I choose to and walk right back to it (or a bar along the way) when I complete the hike. Also, while the Grey Glacier is great, the Perito Moreno boardwalk system and frequent calving make it much better. Both offer kayaking and glacier hikes.

One of the most beautiful places on earth. From nice hotels to mountain refugio, or camping, there are many ways to experience this nature wonder. If you like to hike, the "W" or "O" track is a great way to explore the park fully. If you like more comfort, you can stay one of the hotels near the park and do day tours.

We came here with a tour from our cruise ship. The total excursion time was around 11 hours since it involved a plane ride and a long bus ride, which was a very scenic drive. Once we arrived, the park was simply amazing from the minute we entered. As we traveled done the road there were mountains on both sides of us. We also saw much wildlife. As we got closer, we began to see the beautiful lakes and several glaciers. The highlight was viewing the granite peaks of Paine Massif. There were also some wildlife present in this area as well. We could have spent more time here. I would recommend coming to Torres and allowing at least a couple of days. There is lodging in the park, and they offer tours.

In early March, 2023, we visited Torres del Paine National Park and it is an absolutely amazing landscape and natural beauty. As we hoped to see sunrise of the Towers of Paine, we stayed at hotel Refugio Chileno for one night. It took about 2-hour hiking from the parking place to the hotel. It was a cold and raining day. Next day at 4 am, we started the 4-mile hiking to Towers of Paine. This was a hard hiking and took almost 2 hours to reach. Fortunately we had a sunny morning and captured the beautiful and magical views of Towers of Paine in the morning glows. Truly breathtaking. At 8 am, it started to rain and the Towers of Paine was covered by cloud. So whether you can see the beauty of Powers of Paine really depends on the weather. Anyway this is a place one should visit.

Thoroughly recommend O trek , the backside was beautiful especially Seron to Dickson camp. Condors every day, one sighting of puma family between Chileno and Hotel torres but not by us unfortunately. Paine Grande and Grey were best refugios. Cuernos better than Frances, more space to relax. Would certainly have booked tents all the way if had known so many snorers out there!!!! Very snowy for four days , posted these pictures as proof!, yes conditions change!
