Welcome Center

The starting point for your Torres del Paine adventure

This is where your adventure starts. The Welcome Center is the gateway to the main trails of Torres del Paine National Park, and is where you’ll find all the information you need to be a responsible tourist. Here you can purchase supplies for your trip, or simply dispose of your portable gas canister. Built in 2016 to serve as the first stop for all visitors coming to the reserve, the Las Torres Welcome Center is managed by our NGO AMA Torres del Paine. All hikers and vehicles stop here before entering the reserve to receive a warm welcome and assistance regarding the logistics of their stay. Here you can make reservations, hire services, and get answers to all your questions. There are restrooms, a cafeteria, and a small outdoor and souvenir store. For hikers staying in shelters or campgrounds, or for those waiting for a shuttle to leave, this is a great place to grab a snack or enjoy a beer. Hotel guests coming in their own vehicle simply need to show their reservation before continuing on to the hotel, approximately 1 km (0.6 miles) away.

Outreach Center

The center not only checks reservations, but also operates as a conservation education hub within the National Park. Part of the educational initiatives promoted by the center include providing maps and messages about best practices for reducing environmental impact, and teaching visitors how to contribute to sustainability initiatives.

Sustainable visitor management

Reserva Las Torres is committed to sustainably managing our natural and cultural reserve. We emphasize to all tourists the significance of adhering to best practices and minimizing the impact of their visit. The Welcome Center also helps us to count and manage the number of people entering the park. This allows us to measure the impact of visitor volume on the trails, and ensures that everyone who enters the park is accounted for.
