Torres del Paine (the three towers) in December 2026: sunrise glow by day
Short answer: On 15 December 2026: First light on the Torres at 05:22; the red-to-gold glow lasts until about 06:05. Be at the Base de las Torres viewpoint by 04:52. Every day of December is in the table.
The granite towers face east over the Patagonian steppe, so the first sun hits them square on and they glow orange-red for a few minutes. Hikers climb to the lake at their base in the dark to be there.
