Torres del Paine & Puerto Natales, Chile

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Torres del Paine is one of Patagonia's most celebrated national parks, located in Chile's far south and famous for its dramatic granite towers, glaciers, turquoise lakes, and sweeping pampas. The park draws hikers from around the world to multi-day treks like the iconic W Trek and the full O Circuit, offering some of the most spectacular wilderness walking on the planet. Puerto Natales, the nearest town, serves as the gateway and base camp for the park — a compact, welcoming hub where travellers rest, gear up, and plan their routes. The region is best visited between October and April, when longer days and milder conditions make trekking and kayaking accessible.

Torres del Paine W Trek — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 6-day W Trek: same 62km route under the three towers, up the French Valley and out past Grey Glacier, but booked independently through CONAF and the refugio/camping operators (Vertice and Fantastico Sur). You base yourself in Puerto Natales, take the public bus into the park, carry or hire porter support yourself, and camp or take a dorm bed at the classic refugios. The W Trek is well waymarked and heavily trafficked, so no guide is needed — just book park entry, campsites and the Pehoé catamaran well in advance (peak season sells out months ahead). Costs below are rough per-person backpacker estimates excluding international flights; park entry and campsite reservations are the fixed costs and matter more than day-to-day spending.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.
