Hike Mirador Las Torres

This hike is truly awesome, but get ready to climb! You can park at the Hotel Las Torres, then you will see the trailhead right past the hotel, clearly marked. The hike is 11.2miles round trip with 3,000 ft of elevation gain, much of it at the end over rocks.

About halfway through the hike, you will arrive at Refugio Chileno, where if you are lucky and they are open, you can grab a coffee, beer, or snack. The hike evens out for awhile after the refugio, going through a lovely forest. There are plenty of streams at this point to refill your water bottle, and all the water is still safe to drink right out of the stream in Patagonia - nothing better than that. Right around the 3.5 mile mark, you will see the Torres campground off to your right. This is a great place to overnight if you want to get to the lookout for sunrise and not leave the hotel at 3am. The campsite is free and no reservations are needed, just be mindful there can be mice and foxes, so hang all your food in a dry bag.The last part of the hike is the toughest bit, but you can see the towers for most of it, so it's a pretty climb up there. Bring a lunch (or breakfast!) and enjoy the park's namesake three towers from the shores of the glacial-fed lake. When you're done taking it in, just head back the way you came.

At the end, the Torres hotel has a great bar/restaurant to reward yourself after this awesome day. The hike typically takes people 7-8 hours, less if you are very fit.
