Excursion Information
The Base of the Towers Hike excursion is exclusively available
when booking a 7, 9, or 11-Day Patagonia Overland Safari by Quasar.

The hike to the base of the world famous Torres del Paine is one of the most emblematic, spectacularly beautiful and physically challenging hikes available in the national park that bears their name. Starting from an elevation of 140 meters (460 ft.) above sea level and climbing to the final lookout point at 982 meters (3,222 ft.), you will be richly rewarded by one of the most breathtaking views in the world when you reach the base of the towers. This full day hike begins at “Torres del Paine Visitor Center” within the park where we leave our vehicles for the start of the hike. The trail through forests, rivers, bushes and rocky moraines, is 10 km (6.2 miles) each way and it typically takes an average of 8 to 10 hours to complete the round-trip journey.


NOTE: This excursion is offered as part of Quasar's Patagonia Safari programs and cannot be booked independently. If you are booked on one of our trips, please refer to your detailed trip itinerary and to your Guide to Excursions document for details.
