IMPORTANT UPDATE INFORMATION (Nov. 2021): To all who want to Visit Torres del Paine National Park you may visit the official book site Booking Patagonia at: www.bookingpatagonia.travel

With Torres del Paine National Park official opening this 26th of November 2020, all visitors must buy access tickets to the park with the new Ticket Sales System for Protected Wild Areas in Chile. The new system call ASPTicket is designed with all COVID-19 health form protocol so visitors now must check-in at least 24 hours before its visits. After you buy and proceed with check-in, visitors will receive a digital QR code to access Torres del Paine. Now you may buy it online by visiting this link: www.aspticket.cl

Remember that you need also reservations for the campsites or shelters in Torres del Paine.

There are three different agencies (CONAF, Vertice, Fantástico Sur) that offer campsites and shelters in Torres del Paine National Park. The campsites you need to reserve will depend on your route and budget.

I recommend trying to make reservations at the same time since the three agencies are not connected, which makes it very difficult to coordinate them.
