After crossing the Ascencio River, we begin the ascent by one of the shoulders of Mount Almirante Nieto (2,600 masl) towards the passage of the winds, here we will enjoy the panoramic view of the surroundings. We begin the descent to the Chilean Refuge, where we will have already completed 3 kms. to continue ascending, surrounded by a Lenga forest and glacier slopes, until reaching the last flat sector (550 masl). After a brief rest, we will ascend about 300 mt. (1 hour) by the complicated moraine, this being the last km. of the trail. Finally we arrive at Las Torres del Paine and its turquoise periglacial lagoon. Scenario that turns Torres del Paine Park into the Eighth Wonder of the World.
