Heading along the road from Laguna
Amarga to Las Torres, cross the bridge and continue on until you hit the Lago
Dickson sign on the right. This trail is fairly different from the majority of
the park as it winds through spacious dry grasslands and skirts alongside Rio
Paine, while offering up views of the Torres’ peaks on a clear day. From the
trailhead all the way until the campsite of Seron, the path remains pleasantly
flat with no notable climbs. Along this trail you’ll encounter meadows,
grasslands dotted with burnt sections of trees, and fertile areas of pampas
which hang near the banks of the river.
It’s not uncommon to encounter less
than a handful of people on this trail as the majority of trekkers start hiking
to Seron from Las Torres. On a sunny day a generous application of sunscreen is
a must as you’ll be completely exposed to powerful UV rays the entirety of the
trail. Overall getting to Seron is a very peaceful walk with plenty of wide
meadows and valleys that look out upon mountainsides to the East and West.
Seron campground, located in a meadow with a bubbling creek to the rear of the
grounds, has a scattered grove of trees with flat camping sites. A restroom,
shower, and water faucet is available; along with a plentiful supply of
mosquitoes once dusk approaches. This beautiful grassland campsite has a
nostalgic feel to it, and is vastly different from any camping encountered
on the W-Trek.
