A beautiful hike

The hike is pretty tough. The hike to the base of the Torres is the basic start to the W hike. From Hosteria Las Torres you ascend to Refugio and Camping Chileno, it takes about 1.5 hours if I can remember right. Then you continue to Campamiento Torres, which is a free, unserviced campsite. From Campamiento Torres you head up a valley to the base of the Torres. This part of the hike is pretty tough because its all uphill and on rocks. The base of the Torres is beautiful if you have a nice day, if it is cloudy and rainy it is crappy.
It took me about 7 hours roundtrip from the Hosteria Las Torres, that is with stopping for lunch and some time at the base.
