Which Torres del Paine tour to choose
Full day by minibus: the highlights in one day
This is the option if you only have one day and do not want to walk much. The route covers the Milodón Cave, Laguna Amarga, the Lake Nordenskjöld viewpoint facing the Cuernos, Salto Grande and Lake Grey. It does not include the park fee or the Milodón Cave fee (CLP 11,000 for foreigners, according to the listing). Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Hike to the Base of the Towers: the iconic trek
Pickup is at 6:30 in Puerto Natales and the hike takes about eight hours, with steep climbs; one review on the listing rates it as intermediate. Poles are included. Mind the official trail hours: according to the park, you can enter the Base Torres trail until 9:30 and must leave before 15:00.
Park and Lake Grey: the most complete
It adds a boat trip on Lake Grey, with views of the glacier's icebergs, to the minibus route. It is the most expensive and has a different condition: free cancellation only up to 3 days before, not 24 hours.
Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers: the alternative without the Torres del Paine fee
It does not enter Torres del Paine: it sails the Última Esperanza fjord to Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, with a 90-minute walk to the Serrano glacier. That park's fee is included. Good for a day of bad mountain weather or as a second day.
The Torres del Paine fee is not included in the tour
None of the park tours include the entrance fee. Since May 2026 there is a one-day pass and a two-or-more-day pass, explained in our article on the Torres del Paine entrance fee 2026.
