The hike to Cerro Benitez offers a unique experience that combines Patagonia’s natural beauty with the history of its indigenous peoples. Starting at Estancia Rupestre Patagonia, you’ll ascend the eastern side of the hill to reach an elevation of 240 meters above sea level, passing through forests of lenga and ñirre trees.

After about an hour, you’ll arrive at the viewpoint of Laguna Sofía, perfect for spotting condors and eagles. The hike continues along the slopes toward caves featuring ancient rock paintings that reveal the culture of the early inhabitants. The route concludes back at the starting point.

The hike starts from the Welcome Center, ascending along a trail that passes through forests and rivers in Ascencio Valley. The last stretch features an impressive glacial moraine, ultimately leading you to the renowned Base Torres viewpoint.

Here, you’ll enjoy one of the best views of the three granite giants alongside the Torres lake and glacier. This must-see spot is perfect for nature lovers. This medium to high-difficulty hike takes a full day, with a total hiking time of 8 to 9 hours, including short breaks. Water refills are available along the way.

Along the way, you’ll discover a shelter with rock paintings over 6,000 years old, remnants of the Aonikenk people. Local wildlife, including condors, guanacos, and pumas, may be spotted. The hike descends toward the Paine River and concludes in Cañadón Macho, a vast valley, before returning to Puerto Natales.
