Hike to Mirador Las Torres in Torres del Paine National Park | W Trek Circuit

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Have you ever heard of Torres del Paine National Park?

[@worldtraveler1236]

I’ve only see photos of it

[@LukeGeeTravels]

@@worldtraveler1236 photos never do a place justice. No matter how many photos I see of a particular place, it’s still magical to see it in person!

[@BobI-jb4rk]

I bet it was so much fun hiking with a group of like-minded people that love to hike in the most beautiful places. Really looking forward to watching the whole series!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

It was just my friend and I. I convinced him to travel all the way to southern Chile for this. He had never done a long hiking trip like this so it was really nice to have someone to share these experiences with!

[@ervinslens]

Breathtaking, these shots and overall atmosphere are spectacular my friend!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you so much! It’s been a dream of mine to come and visit and what better way to celebrate a birthday than being out in nature surrounded by mountains❤️

[@LozsLeisure]

DUDE! What a vlog this is 😍 seen loads of pictures from this place but never watched a video I don't think. You showed it brilliantly. The blue of the river as you approached the Refugio... and then of Lago Torres was unreaaaal! Vlogs are just getting better and better bro - great pacing, beautiful shots, so much useful info - Thanks so much for this amigo 🤙

[@LukeGeeTravels]

I appreciate your support as always! I enjoy the process and if I can help people too, it makes my work satisfying! Maybe you can take Hannah there one day?!🤷🏼‍♂️

[@OutdoorExistential]

Epic run buddy! Thank you so much for taking us along!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

I appreciate you watching! Stay tuned for three more videos of epic adventures along the W Trek!

[@OutdoorExistential]

@@LukeGeeTravels Will do!

[@posteador]

It's on my bucket list as well. One day I will be there as well. 👍

[@LukeGeeTravels]

It’s a place you will never forget, truly breathtaking nature!

[@fedepettenuzzo1990]

Great video! I'll go to Torres in december: i 'm very excited!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

You will love it! The weather should be great. Will you hike W or O treks?

[@fedepettenuzzo1990]

​@@LukeGeeTravels We choose the W trek. Wha's the smartest way to reach the mirador after amarga entrance? i mean, is it necessary to go to visitor centre with the bus o Can i pay the fee after the entrance and start to hike? thank you

[@LukeGeeTravels]

@fedepettenuzzo1990 the bus drops you right at the visitor center (if you start from Hotel Torres) and pay the fees there. During my visit in 2022, the park rangers were on strike so I didn’t pay anything. Hope that helps!

[@worldtraveler1236]

Amazing video Luke! The nature over there looks so breathtaking. How long did it take you to do this hike?

[@LukeGeeTravels]

The hike itself was not long, maybe 5-6 hours? But we also took a lott of breaks to just take in the views🏔️

[@jonathanquinn9512]

Hey man, great video, did you book everything through a company or yourself? Thanks

[@LukeGeeTravels]

I booked everything myself, there are 3 more videos I’ll release from each of the day on the trail and then I’ll have a full guide HOW to book, WHERE to book and how much it all costs! Hope that will help a lot of people

[@jonathanquinn9512]

@@LukeGeeTravels Amazing thanks

[@toadstooltraveler]

Amazing video! What backpack is that you are using?

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you so much! This is the Osprey Aether 70 liter AG, love this backpack. Great for backpacking or when I travel abroad!

[@toadstooltraveler]

@@LukeGeeTravels Oh nice! Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like you had an amazing trip. I am heading there next month. Currently have an Atmos 65, but have been debating something smaller to try to keep my pack weight down.

[@LukeGeeTravels]

@@toadstooltraveler it really depends on what you are doing. I camped at both Refugio Chileno and Camp Frances and paid to rent tent/sleeping bag. Treated myself to a bunk bed in Paine Grande. If you are doing the W trek, it’s relatively easy.. before heading into Las Torres and French Valley, you can leave your stuff somewhere at the reception to ease off the weight.

[@keepitrollin3670]

did you have to share a tent with someone? the place looks amazing, but i dont know about sharing a tent.

[@LukeGeeTravels]

I did, I shared it with my friend. These tents are designed for two people but you can rent it for only yourself.

[@claudiocollartchile]

Great video!!!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you again Claudio!
