Likewise, the corporation informed of the entrance and exit schedules for the main points inside the national park.

Torres del Paine, September 3, 2024 – The National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) released a new update on the status of entrance policies to Torres del Paine National Park this week. In its communiqué, the entity established the schedules and restrictions applied to the main points inside the park.

As is well known by those who visit the Base Torres trail during the winter, the corporation requires visitors to enter this sector with certified guides, due to the complexity of entering this area during the Patagonian winter, however, with the advance of spring in the region, the entity has lifted this limitation, which will take effect from September 1 of this year.
