Torres del Paine is amazing, the mountains are really almost unreal in their beauty. Distances are far even to get to different places within the park, but the views along the way are stunning and its to be expected. The trails are well marked and there are many options. There are opportunities for hard core hikers and adventurers as well as those who might only do day trips or short walks for the views. We will definitely go back.

My husband and I went to the Torres del Paine National Park in March 2020. It was such a large and wonderful national park! So much to see and experience! We love the six days we spent there. On the first day we went on a 10 hour hiking tour to the three towers. It was raining and took us more than 10 hours round trip, very tiring. The rest of the days are clear, we can see the big horns so clearly from our hotel- Vista the Paine. We then went to the Salto Grande, many mirados near the lake Pehoe and the Glacier Grey. We took many photos. The only negative is that there is no gas station in the park, we nearly ran out of gas on the second day. Fortunately the park ranger helped us to find another hotel where they provided us with 20 litters of gas. I would recommend this part to anyone interested in Patagonia!

My wife and I stayed in the national park for 6 days- the park is huge, a lot of beautiful viewpoints including the Salto Grande, and big horns and the three towers /Torres del Paine. But the roads in the park are all gravel roads very bumpy and hard to drive on. You cannot drive fast and it consumes a lot of gasoline. There is no gas station in the park! You 'd better bring extra gas in 20 litter buckets if you plan to stay longer than 1-2 days. We ate at the Pampa restaurant in Rio Serrano village. It is an excellent restaurant! We went on a one-day hike to the Torres del Paine but it was raining. It took us more than ten hours -very long and difficult one, especially when the weather is bad. You'd better be fit and prepared with hiking poles, multi-layers and rain gears.

The park offers incredible outdoor recreation activities and the scenery is stunning. It is a very popular place so expect crowds in the easiest to access areas. If we had more time there, we would have explored some of the less traveled areas of the park.

We visited in January for 8 days. Wonderful view. No food, no gas station within 85 km, no paved roads in the park, leaving dust over everything, probably far more damaging to the environment. Trails are sparse and located in different corners of the huge park. If you do the W, and do it daily without reservation that is 4 separate trails, accessible from 2 different locations. We stayed 8 days and on the last 2 days we were straining to find new trails. We stayed at Rio Sorrano Hotel at one of the southern gates in a beautiful but overpriced hotel. Visiting Lago Amarga or Lago Azul took 70 km each way. Several tracks, such as Rio Pingo, Mount Ferrier, Lago Grey, Lago Sarmiento, are only with guides and prior booking. Weather is TOTALLY unpredictable, could be sunny, rainy, seriously windy, freezing, foggy, icy, the same afternoon on the same trail. Winds up to 100 km/hour howl making tracking really dangerous. All in all, 4-5 days would have been sufficient. Trails you must do: Lago Grey to glacier, Torres Base Camp, Salto Grande Waterfall, around Lago Pehoe.

Torres del Paine is stunning! We enjoyed all the park had to offer including hikes, boat rides, camping and luxury accommodations at times. The roads are gravel, so expect some slower travel, dust and potholes. It is a bit expensive when in the park. The grey glacier boat ride was a great way to see the glacier and icebergs tho a bit pricey but worth it. We loved taking the boat across Lake Pehoe and hiking the French Valley.
