The place is incredible, a complete trek that will stay with those who complete it forever. It's 22 km from the starting point (round trip), and takes about 9 hours. I only have one complaint: except at kilometer 11, which is the Chileno refuge, there are no restrooms. This is a big oversight in my opinion, especially for women or the elderly who hike the circuit. The CONAF staff are only stationed at the entrance, the refuge, and near the viewpoint. APART FROM THAT, IT'S MAGNIFICENT. We did it!

It takes over 8 hours round trip. There are many frozen roads where the snow hasn't melted (as of August), so it is difficult to walk even with crampons. Still, everyone manages to do well. The scenery is breathtaking, but if you can't really appreciate it because it's too hard, if it's that difficult, quit smoking and cut down on drinking.

Chegar diante das famosas Torres del Paine e contemplar aquela paisagem cercada por montanhas, natureza preservada e a incrível lagoa aos pés das torres é algo difícil de descrever em palavras. É um lugar de uma beleza extraordinária, perfeito para quem gosta de natureza, aventura e paisagens únicas.
