The 'Cuernos' of Torres del Paine are some of the most impressive peaks in this beautiful national park. Along with the Towers of Paine, The Cuernos are one of the main highlights visited on the W Circuit hike which takes 4-5 days to complete. The Cuernos form a cirque of impressive cliffs at the top of the French Valley.

The walls of Cerro Cota 2000 rise sharply to the west. This mountain gets its name from the fact that its highest contour line is about 2,000 m (6,562 ft). Cerro Catedral is named so because its east face resembles a cathedral's facade. To the north stands the granite spire called Aleta de Tiburón or Shark's Fin, to the east, lie La Fortaleza (Fortress), La Espada (The Sword), La Hoja (The Blade), La Máscara (The Mummer), Cuerno Norte (North Horn), and Cuerno Principal (Main Horn). Some of the best photos of Los Cuernos are taken on board the boat across Lake Pehoe, directly beneath Los Cuernos.
