CONAF replaced the previous structure, which distinguished stays of less or more than three days, with two options: a daily ticket and a ticket for 2 or more days, valid for up to 10 continuous days. The prices by category are at pasesparques.cl, the official channel. Tickets are bought online only and in advance.
Winter and guides
The winter season began on 27 April, earlier than usual, because of weather conditions. On high-difficulty routes or in winter conditions, hiring an authorized guide is mandatory, for example on the W Circuit and the trail to Base Torres. Check with CONAF whether the measure is still in force on your travel date.
Base Torres
In the 2026 season there are no measures regulating access to the trail, although CONAF will consider the possibility in the future.
