Departure from Puerto Natales direct to the Las Torres sector where we will arrive at "Reserva Cerro Paine”, starting point of the trail. There we will receive a prior instructive talk by our guide. We take the road in the direction of the Valley and after 10 minutes of walking, we will walk on an old bridge pendant that crosses the Ascencio river. About 150 meters ahead, a fork appears: on the left leads to Las Torres Base. Then, ascent continues and after you reach Camping Chileno on the opposite bank of the Ascencio River, to the shade of a lenga forest, with a moderate slope, crossing several slopes that fall from the Almirante Grandson. After about an hour from the Chilean campsite, at 700 (masl), the foot of the moraine is reached, which gives access to the viewpoint. From this point, the trail increases its slope.
