Description Suggest change

Grupo Paine or Grupo torres are the most featured peaks of this national park. Located in the SE face of the Paine Massiff.

Best time of the year depends on the season changes. Specially starting in october weather changes quickly due to the hot winds entering the atlantic (argentinian side of SA) and colliding with the cold fronts from the W ... campos de hielo sur.

The most climbed (or attemted) area is the three towers, south, middle and north. All approached mostly for the Japanese basecamp. which is a very long one day hike from where the bus drops you off at the trailhead which has a nice refugio and camping area. approaches from basecamp are about 2 hours, often folks set up a camp more near to the routes bases.

Normal routes are in the N side via the Valley of silence and specially the Monzino route in the north tower. Spect several parties in the face during Jan - Feb

Getting There Suggest change

Fly to Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales.

Bus or car to Puerto Natales, then bus or car to the park. Enter via Serrano or Amarga ranger station. Amarga is further away but is the closest one to the trailhead towards Campamento Japones and then enter de Valley of silence
