The best time to visit is between the months of October and April, during the spring and summer season in the southern hemisphere, when weather conditions are more favorable and trails and activities are open. In winter, some routes may be closed due to snow or extreme weather.

The most common way to get there is to fly from Santiago to Punta Arenas or to the Teniente J. Gallardo Airport in Puerto Natales, and from there take a vehicle by land to Torres del Paine Park, which is about 100 km away. It can also be reached by bus from Punta Arenas.

The park offers options for all types of visitors, from short and easy hikes, such as the one that leads to Grey Lake or the Full day to the park that we offer, to more demanding routes such as the W circuit or the O circuit. It is advisable to be in good physical shape if you plan to do long or challenging hikes.

Due to the unpredictable weather, it is essential to bring warm, waterproof clothing suitable for walking on trails. We recommend layered clothing (thermal t-shirts, fleece liners, and a waterproof jacket). Don't forget hiking boots, gloves, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a comfortable backpack for the trails.

The climate is very variable, with strong winds, frequent rains and abrupt changes in conditions. Temperatures can range from 5°C to 20°C during the day in spring and summer, and drop much lower at night. It is important to be prepared for any type of weather

Yes, especially in high season (November to March). The most popular tours tend to sell out quickly. It is recommended to book in advance to ensure availability and avoid inconveniences.

First choose the date on the calendar on your right and tour options. Click on book and then fill in your personal and booking information. Once received we will process your reservation requesting payment by secure credit card and send you vouchers and final instructions.

Bien, aunque creo que los guías deben especializarse. En Tour Torres del Paine el incremento por el almuerzo es más que excesivo considerando el costo que tiene pagarlo allá directamente. Además la identificación del lugar en que se va a aalmorzar no es preciso y lleva a confusión

Una vez concretado el tour, Patagonia, todos sus servicios han estado muy bien. Justo lo que deseaba, todo muy bien.

En mi caso concreto, les contacté desde España vía web, y la primera respuesta fue rápida, agradeciendo mi contacto y poniéndose a disposición. Pero a partir de ahí las respuestas se demoraron días, eran muy generales, escuetas e inoperativas. No fue hasta que llamé por teléfono, ya desde Santiago, al límite de tiempo de poder contratar nada (2 dias laborables antes de cuando podía empezar a hacer algún tour), bastante decepcionada por sus servicios (semanas infructuosas), que realmente pude sentirme atendida. Esta vez viajaba sola a Santiago por trabajo y quería quedarme algunos días más para visitar algo. Por tanto necesitaba contratar algo en solitario, cosa que al final pude hacer. Como ya es habitual en cualquier lugar, la habitación simple, siempre es más que la mitad de la doble. Hasta ahí ninguna sorpresa. La dificultad inesperada era que parecía que no había posibilidad de hacer ningun tour si no era contratando un mínimo de 2 personas (o pagando la totalidad del tour a precio de 2), excepto 1 tour a Atacama. En cambio, luego, hablando por teléfono, se pudo solucionar. La sugerencia: en la actualidad, dada la cantidad de viajantes solitarios/as que hay, que ya busquen y oferten las posibilidades para 1, como una opción más en la web. Que no te dé la sensación que eres un bicho raro al que están haciendo un favor in extremis.
