Seasonal promo prices, checked 8 September 2026 — checkout wins. You pay in Chilean pesos (CLP). US dollar figures below use 900 CLP per USD (same convention as our EN price listicle). CONAF entry and operating dates: confirm with the operator and on pasesparques.cl.
If you reach Puerto Natales in October 2026, the panoramic full day is CLP $60,000 (≈US$67) and Base Torres is CLP $90,000 (≈US$100). Grey navigation (CLP $170,000) was marked operating from 15 September. The 2D/1N Express (CLP $460,000) lists 15 October–30 April. The W 3D/2N is CLP $1,300,000.
What ranking pages skip: CONAF extended the accredited-guide rule on Base Torres and the W through 15 September 2026. In October that winter rule no longer applies, per the notice. The O circuit (Macizo Paine) stays closed, with a typical November opening if weather allows. No Tuki tour includes park entry.
October: a day tour or Grey if you have one day. Express only from 15 October. W if you accept 3D/2N camping. Tuki does not sell the O.
