To experience Torres del Paine, you have the classic choice of the famous “W” trek over 5 days, the even more ambitious “O” trek of 10 days, or for a bit more civilised (. . . easier!) tour. We were a bit pressed for time, and maybe just a little lazy, so chose the tour and glad we did because we had just the most fantastic time
Your 3 days should include a hike up to the famous Base of the Towers, a night staying in the wonderful Hotel Lago Grey, a day checking out the Grey Glacier from the small ferry, staying at the Hosteria Pehoe (a hotel which, although quite low quality, must be in the running for world’s most stunning hotel setting), and a day for general wandering through the park with a guide. The price also includes a night either side staying at the domes in Puerto Natales which are fun
The hiking was balanced out by relaxing in the hotels with their outstanding views. Far more civilised than staying in tents!
