Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Torres del Paine National Park, Magallanes Region
Torres Del Paine National Park’s beauty lies in its diversity. Located in Chile’s Patagonia region, the area is home to sparkling ice fields, blue-green lagoons, golden pampa grasslands, and quiet river villages. One such village, the pueblito Serrano, is known as the gateway to the park and is where travelers gather to fish and immerse themselves in the tranquility of everyday local life. Those looking to kick things up a notch can sail on Lake Grey or hike towards the horn-shaped peaks of the Mirador Cuernos.

Our guide brought us here to wrap up our full day Paine tour, and it was the perfect way to end the day. Magnificent views toward Cuernos del Paine from a small hill at the lookout, and if you pack a snack or beverage you're able to enjoy it in one of the camp shelters nearby after.

Decided to take on this epic nine day hike not knowing what to expect both physically and visually. A great decision to say the least. Physically it was extremely demanding but the rewards presented visually more than made up for it, melting away all phytigue. Camp sites offered spectacular views as well as access to side trips such as glacier hiking and kayaking. Camping facilities were more than adequate equiped with stores, cafes and even the Chileon camp had a full restaurant. Staff was knowledgeable and bilingual. A couple of the camps also had lodging (bunkbed) options. Each section of the hike was challenging in different ways but never did I feel in any danger. Park Rangers patrol sections offering a feeling of assurance. A must do for all hiking enthusiest.

My wife and I hiked the W trail for our 40th anniversary at age 63 & 64. We brought along our two children and their spouses telling them they would be our packmules, but in reality we all had a minimal backpacks as we stayed at refugios - less than 20 pounds. We did not use a guide as they are much more expensive and not needed as the trails are well marked. However, you have to be willing to put in some effort to figure out the logistics of lodging and transportation as that can be fairly complicated. The refugios are owned by different companies and have limited availability so you have to get things reserved well in advance - at least 9 months for peak season IMO. The Puerto Natales airport only has flights a few days a week so when to arrive and leave is more challenging unless you want to take a 3 hour bus ride from Puntas Arenas. Then you have to figure out how to get to the park and in which direction you will hike. What fit our schedule best was arranging for private transportation to take our party of 6 from Puerto Natales to the Lagos Grey Hotel to catch the boat across Lagos Grey and hike to the Paine Grande refugio. From there we hiked to Cuernos refugio seeing the French Valley on the way (hardest day we hiked). Day 3 was a hike to refugio Chileno. The final day was a hike up to Mirador Torres then down to Hotel Torres to catch a bus back to town. You will also find the wether forecasts confusing. You can go to two different web sites for Torres del Paine weather and one will say it will be a high in the 60s and another say the 30s for the same day high. We packed for extremes. For the most part it was nice and in the 50s and 60s for us (late February), but when we hiked up to Mirador Torres the temperature dropped into the 30s with 30 MPH winds gusting to 50 MPH. I would recommend wearing light fast drying long pants rather than shorts as it was never that hot and there are lots of prickly plants you will be encountering. If you enjoy hiking with mountain scenery this is a trip you have to take.

Did the O trail in 7 days fully self supported and self guided. We stayed in Seron, Dickson, Los Perros, Paso, Paine Grande, Italiano and central Sur campsites. The booking of all the campsite is done online and can be bit confusing but the staff is helpful. There's charging facilities in all the paid campsites plus hot shower. You can also buy food and gas from these campsites so no need to carry too much food or gas initially. The trail is very well marked and easy to follow. For me personally the hike was easy. But most people find it hard. The climb to the pass is not as difficult as most people claim it to be. There's plenty of water everywhere no need to carry too much water.

Nice little parking spot off the highway. The trail starts right at the parking lot. Basically a straight ascent to the top. Takes 30-90 minutes depending on your pace. The top is a flattened plateau that overlooks Lago Pegoe and the Torres. Great 360 vantage point of the southeast section of the park.
