Torres del Paine: A Destination for Those With No Limits

The granite towers that give their name to the national park have been the focus of countless stories in Patagonia. Travelers from around the world flock to this corner of the Magallanes Region to witness this geological wonder with their own eyes.

The hike to the famous Base Torres viewpoint is challenging, and many take on this adventure as a way to push their personal limits and achieve a monumental goal. You’ll encounter people of all ages, nationalities and physical conditions with the same objective — reaching this iconic natural wonder in one of the most remote corners of the world.

In 2022, Segundo Castro (72) and Cleyra Sáez (63) completed the trek to the famous viewpoint after a long hike. Along the way they were encouraged by others to keep going. Reaching the viewpoint, Castro said, "I wanted to cry, the emotion was overwhelming."

Another significant moment was 2017. Álvaro Silberstein, who became a tetraplegic after a car accident at age 18, became the first person in a wheelchair to complete the iconic W Circuit, proving that with determination, any challenge can be conquered.
