About this trip
Six days in Torres del Paine covering the W Trek, one of Patagonia's classic multi-day hikes. You spend four days on foot, moving through the park's core scenery rather than just glimpsing it from a bus.
The route takes in Grey Glacier, French Valley and the three granite towers the park is named for, with camping along the way. It's a straightforward, walk-focused trip that works well tacked onto a longer Patagonia itinerary.
What you'll do
- Trek to the base of the three towers of Torres del Paine
- Walk through French Valley
- View Grey Glacier up close
- Camp in the park over multiple nights
- Cover the full W Trek route on foot
- Four of the six days are spent trekking, so you need a reasonable level of fitness
- Accommodation is camping, not hotels
- Works well as an add-on before or after other Patagonia trips
Worth it if you're under 40, flexible about pace, and verify exact itinerary details before booking. Think twice if you expect what's advertised—actual trek is 3.5 days, not 6, and accommodation downgrades are common.
- Advertised as 6-day trek but actual trekking is only 3.5 days; first day is just a half-hour talk at hostel.
- Accommodation systematically downgrades: advertised hotels become hostels, refugios become cheapest tents, some leaking.
- Older trekkers risk removal mid-trip without refund if they can't match younger group's pace, per guide discretion.
- Guides like Natasha, Martin and Nacho consistently praised as knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely enthusiastic throughout.
