Trekking Stages Torres del Paine Base
The Torres del Paine Base Trekking could be divided into several stages, of different difficulty:
- Hotel Las Torres-Campamento El Chileno: medium difficulty (ups and downs of different intensity) approximately 2h for a person in physical form
- Chilean Camp - Lengas Forest: low difficulty (path that runs between a forest of lengas, with few climbs) 1: 15h approximately for a person in physical form
- Lengas Forest - Camping Las Torres: medium-high difficulty (in the last section begins the ascent itself, in which there is only a kind of stairs / rocks that must be climbed) approximately 30 minutes for one person in half fitness
- Camping Las Torres - Arrival Torres del Paine Base: high difficulty (this is the most demanding section, where you have to climb continuously, for 1 kilometer between rocks) In general terms they say it takes about an hour. We take a little more than 1 hour and a half, ascending calmly.
Total ascent route Trekking Base Torres del Paine: 5 hours 45 minutes from Hotel Las Torres to the Base of Torres del Paine.
The way back from the Trekking Base Torres del Paine is exactly the same as the one way and although it seems to be easier, you have to be very careful, especially in the descents, since they are made through rocks and it is very easy suffer sprains or falls. It took us 3 hours 15 minutes to return to Hotel Las Torres.
