Excursion

The trek begins by walking through the foothills of Mount Almirante Nieto, where the combination of the breeze and the view will make your soul feel alive.
After 2:30 hrs. of travel and a short safety talk, they will begin their walk. The round trip is done along the same path, which is divided into 4 sections:

– Approximately 1 km flat, until crossing the Ascensio River.
– Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes of ascent to Paso del Viento, then about 30 minutes of flat / descent to the Chilean camp, where they will take a break.
– Approximately 1 hour of gentle ascent through a forest of native trees.
– Approximately 1 hour of climbing on a steep slope. They will walk on large stones, which can be wet and slippery depending on the weather. Be careful and don’t lose concentration.
The climb is long and intense, until reaching the Base Torres Viewpoint, located at 870 meters above sea level.
Once you have arrived, enjoy the view to the fullest! Ideally, you should bring an extra shirt so you can change up there.
