Most visitors complete this hike as part of the five-day W Trek, but you can still stand in awe of the Torres (those three famous peaks that tower over a turquoise-toned lake below) even if you only have a day to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it leads to one of the best views in the region, this route is incredibly popular \u2014 but don\u2019t let that fool you into thinking it\u2019s a walk in the park! This hike is one of the hardest in Patagonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of this 18km trail is uphill (the total elevation gain is 900m), and the final stretch is especially steep. Your efforts will be rewarded along the way, with spectacular views of forests, mountains, and waterfalls at every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Two\"><strong>2.
