About this trip
Nine days in Chile built around the W trek, one of Patagonia's best-known multi-day hikes through Torres del Paine National Park. You're backpacking with a small group and experienced local guides, covering some of the park's most striking terrain on foot.
The route takes you from lenga forest up to the base of the Las Torres towers and out to Grey Glacier, so you get the classic Patagonian mix of granite peaks, forest, and ice in one trip.
What you'll do
- Trek the W circuit in Torres del Paine National Park
- Climb through lenga forest to the base of the Las Torres towers
- See Grey Glacier up close
- Guided throughout by local trekking guides
- This is a backpacking trek, so you're carrying your own gear across mountain terrain — a reasonable level of fitness helps
- Fully guided in a small group, with the trekking itself as the main focus of the trip

Your free day in Puerto Natales
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Puerto Natales — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you want small groups, knowledgeable guides, and well-oiled logistics. Think twice if you need guaranteed ice-hike spots without early planning.
- Guides like Roberto, Mauricio, and Sofia are genuinely excellent—knowledgeable, patient, professional, and actively manage weather to avoid crowds.
- Winter timing gives you solitude; only two other small groups visible the entire trek, plus shorter days mean planning feels less rushed.
- Ice-hike spots aren't guaranteed; you need to book early and arrive at Grey refugio early to secure a kayaking and ice-hike slot.
- The trek is physically demanding with stiff muscles, but refugios exceed expectations and meals are genuinely well-done throughout.
