We will leave Puerto Natales and travel about two hours to Laguna Amarga – the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park. From there we catch our transfer to Hosteria Las Torres. Here we start our trek. On this first day we will trek to Campamento las Torres – about 3 hours up into the the valley. Our camp lies under the three famous towers of Paine. We make camp in the thick Lenga forest which protects us from the strong Patagonia winds. This is a steep valley, but many scenic viewpoints allow for many small breaks.

Today we get an early start and climb the Oggioni Pass, a difficult and rarely crossed mountain pass. Where most turn around and go back, we press on, up and over the mountains. The pass leads us North to Camp Dickson where we will make our camp for the night.

On day four we trek through the forest from Camp Dickson to Camp Perros. This will be a long day, but the hike offers incredible views. Night at Camp Perros.

This is the day we cross the John Garner Pass, the highest trekking point in the park. We have spectacular views of Grey Glacier and the Patagonia Ice Field. This is truly one of the major highlights of Torres del Paine National Park. Depending on the weather and speed of our team, we will have various campsite location possibilities.
