Las Torres Patagonia reopens for the season on 1st October 2026 with new experiences designed to take travellers deeper into the landscapes, traditions and conservation stories of Chilean Patagonia.

Located in the heart of the Torres del Paine National Park, guests at the family-owned reserve will now be able to learn to track the signs of Patagonia’s apex predator during a Kingdom of the Puma experience, discover the heritage behind the landscape at a new Interpretation Center and experience a hosted take on the legendary W Circuit. From November they will also be able to enjoy a new chapter in the estancia’s culinary story at Galpón restaurant.

The Kingdom of the Puma experience will see expert guides teach guests to read the landscape, rather than simply setting out in pursuit of a puma sighting. Timed around sunrise and sunset small groups will travel by UTV through different areas of the Las Torres Patagonia reserve in search of tracks and subtle changes in the environment that reveal recent feline activity. When fresh tracks or a sighting present an opportunity for closer observation, the experience may continue on foot. The experience opens a conversation about the conservation work happening behind the scenes through the work of Las Torres Patagonia Conservancy to monitor puma activity and better understand how the animals move through the reserve. All wildlife experiences are designed to minimise any impact on natural behaviour, the experience prioritising education and revealing the relationship between predator and landscape as part of the wider ecosystem of the National Park.

Las Torres Patagonia’s new Interpretation Center, located by the Hotel Las Torres, will trace the evolution of Las Torres Patagonia from a working ranch into the conservation-led tourism destination it is today. Charting the history of the Kusanovic family it also provides visitors with:

  • Context for the history of the Torres del Paine highlighting the social and cultural history of this part of Patagonia from its earliest inhabitants to the present day
  • The geological forces that have shaped the landscapes and biodiversity they will encounter during their stay – whether hiking the W or O Circuits or interacting with the estancia’s baqueano cowboys
  • The main conservation initiatives taking place across the reserve – recent projects include The Geoffrey’s Cat Project, Project Puma, Andean Condor Flight Activity and The Orchids of Torres del Paine.

The new W Journey Circuit gives hikers a new way to tackle one of Patagonia’s best-known trekking routes. The five-day/four-night hosted experience through the dramatic landscapes of the Torres del Paine National Park takes in landmarks including Base Torres, the French Valley, Británico Viewpoint and the first Grey Glacier viewpoint. Small groups of up to 12 people are accompanied by a dedicated host, who conducts a series of rituals along the way inspired by Patagonian culture. This new journey joins Las Torres Patagonia’s wider all-inclusive programme of hiking, horse riding and nature-based experiences, all exclusive to guests at the property.

In November, Hotel Las Torres’ new restaurant Galpón will open its doors in a striking new venue. A reinterpretation of a traditional Patagonian barn, Galpón reinforces the property’s unique status as the only hotel in the National Park with a working estancia and celebrates local ingredients, including those from its own biointensive garden – the world’s southernmost regenerative kitchen garden.
