We embarked on an unforgettable three-day, two-night adventure in Torres del Paine, setting up our base at the charming Serrano settlement, right at the entrance of the west gate. Our journey took us through both the east-to-west and west-to-east routes, allowing us to soak in the park’s breathtaking landscapes under both sunny and rainy skies.
For families traveling with children and elderly members, there’s no need to tackle strenuous hikes to witness the park’s stunning vistas. You can simply drive, park, and capture the beauty with your camera. The scenic spots are well-marked, and if you’re up for a leisurely stroll, the trails near the viewpoints offer delightful walks.
Must-visit trails include the majestic Salto Grande (Big Waterfall), the picturesque Salto Chico (Small Waterfall), and the iconic Cuernos del Paine (Horns of Paine).
When it comes to car rentals, Puerto Natales offers a plethora of options, which you can easily find on Google Maps.
For a memorable dining experience, head to Pehoe Barbecue, where you can savor affordable set meals while enjoying panoramic views.
Serrano provides a wide range of accommodations, from luxurious retreats to budget-friendly lodges. Additionally, you can indulge in horseback riding and fishing, adding more excitement to your stay.
Before our trip, I was concerned about the challenges of traveling with children, so I scoured Xiaohongshu for valuable travel tips. Now that we’ve completed our journey, I hope this summary will be a helpful guide for other families planning a visit to this enchanting destination. [Flying Kiss R]
