Introduction

The Torres del Paine — the three granite towers of Paine National Park, rising to about 2,500 m and named Torre, Monte and Espada — are the park's iconic sight. Reaching the Base Torres viewpoint takes an 8–9-hour return hike; the sunrise when the towers turn gold and red is the ultimate goal of countless trekkers.
