Description
Torres del Paine National Park is pristine and remote – one of the most stunning wilderness areas in the world. The ‘Paine O Circuit’ highlights the best features of the park, while including the famous W-Trek. The Paine O Circuit circumnavigates the whole mountain massif. The dramatic granite towers and spires will draw you in, and in you shall go! The Paine O Circuit takes you along the shores of stunning glacial lakes encompassing electric blue icebergs. You will experience sheer rock spires as tall as the sky and the magnificent, southern Patagonian ice cap, as well as glaciers, turquoise lakes, wonderful backcountry huts (“refugios”) and more!
The beauty of this raw and dramatic landscape will help you understand why the park is designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. You have the opportunity to walk on prehistoric glaciers AND kayak around icebergs in a glacial lake. Wildland Trekking is an active partner of the Torres del Paine Legacy Fund, which helps educate local children, is creating a local recycling program, conducts W-trail restoration and much more. Keep your cameras ready and get ready for an unforgettable adventure with Wildland Trekking.

On this trip the single supplement includes single rooms in the hotels we stay at before and after the trek. Once on our trek we will not have the ability to put guests in single rooms. Please be prepared to share refugio accommodations with other guests and hikers once we’re on the trek.
Each refugio is unique, with dorm style accommodations where guests will share coed bunk rooms, typically 4-8 guests per room. Men’s and women’s restrooms/showers are down the hall. You’ll have great local cuisine, served in a communal eating area with shared tables and drinks available for purchase.

The first 3 guests who opt for the single supplement will get first priority and then anyone else who requests a single tent after that in booking order as long as they are available. Often more single tents are available, but not guaranteed after 3 per trip. We will always do our best to accommodate hikers that want to be in single tents.

BOOKING FLIGHTS
For our Patagonia treks we recommend flying directly into Puerto Natales, Chile on the day the trip begins. LATAM Airlines and Sky Airline offer direct flights from Santiago to Puerto Natales. However, you can also fly into Punta Arenas and we will pick you up and shuttle you to Puerto Natales (3 hours).
If flying into Punta Arenas, guests should arrive in the morning no later than 12PM, and we will shuttle 3 hours to Puerto Natales. If flying into Puerto Natales, guests should arriver before 3PM. Your guide will rendezvous with you at either airport and transport you to our hotel. An orientation meeting, dinner and accommodations are included on Day 1.
Flights to and from Chile are the guest’s responsibility. Multiple airlines operate flights into Punta Arenas (and LATAM Airlines flies into Puerto Natales), but there are no direct flights from U.S. or European cities. Most flights connect through Lima, Santiago, and/or Puerto Montt, Chile. The duration of these multiple-stop flights, including layovers, is normally between 20 and 28 hours.
Your flight on the final day should depart no earlier than 3PM if you’re flying from Punta Arenas. If you’re flying from Puerto Natales your flight can leave at any time.
Please Note: When you enter Chile, you will be issued a document called a PDI (tourism card). Please do NOT throw this away. You will need it to exit the country and nearly every lodge we stay in also asks for a copy.
Minimum of 2 Guests
We require a minimum of 2 guests to confirm this trip. If a trip date is not confirmed yet, you can register and will be notified when the trip is officially confirmed. We recommend not making final travel arrangements until your trip meets the minimum number of guests and is confirmed.
In most cases, if a trip does not reach the minimum number of guests, you may choose to transfer to another trip date or another trip, or be refunded your payments in full. We make the final determination for these trips 45 days before the departure date.

Nigel S.
First Guided Trek
I have not done a guided trek before and I was very impressed by the value the guides added to the experience. From very knowledgeable talks about the area we were hiking in, to the personal care they took of us and the unexpected snacks along the way. Guides were excellent and greatly added to the experience of trekking the Torres Del Paine circuit.
Peter W.
First Class Guides
Filipe and Andrea are first class guides. Other guides I have used were Jemma Baker, Myriam Bishop and Scott Abrams. If I had to pick the best one I could not; they were all super good in their own way.
Nancy W.
Wonderful Experience
Trekking the Torre Del Paine Circuit was a wonderful experience. Seeing the southern ice field was awe inspiring. The trek was difficult, but doable and the scenery at every turn was dramatic. Our guide Felipe was excellent. The trip was well organized.
