Trek through the forest to Campamento Los Perros along the rio Los Perros with views of Dickson lake and glacier with the north face of the Paine Massif. Tent overnight with a view of Los Perros glacier.

The approach to the Torres, gigantic granite monoliths created by the shearing away by the action of glacial heights, are part of a craggy mountain range with heights up to 9,000 feet. The approach here is through a tall, deciduous beech (Nothofagus Pumilio) forest.
