Whether you are on the final day of the O Circuit or had trekked out to Cuernos Camp the night before, the Cuernos Camp to Torres Central Hike is a fun and beautifully scenic route in Torres del Paine National Park. While there isn’t much in the way of challenging terrain, you will still want to arrive prepared with sturdy footwear, proper outdoor gear, and enough food/water to keep you fueled.
