Torres del Paine W Trek 5 Days
This self-guided trek follows the W route in Torres del Paine National Park, starting and ending in Puerto Natales. The program covers the classic walking sections of the park, with time on trails beside Lago Nordenskjöld, a hike to the Base of Las Torres viewpoint, the Francés Valley area, and the Grey Glacier sector. Accommodation is arranged across mountain sectors along the route, with meals included as outlined in the program. A welcome kit is provided, along with park entrance fees and the key logistics needed for the trek. The tour runs without a guide, so the route is completed independently at your own pace. Because this is a mountain hike in Patagonia, conditions can change quickly. Travellers should be prepared for long walking days, variable weather and uneven terrain.
