We have 3 main Patagonia Treks. All of these Patagonia treks include a visit to Torres del Paine National Park. Torres Del Pain is located in southern Chile and is best known as a trekkers paradise. Its most famous hike involves a demanding 31-mile walk up and down the park’s valleys to see its most famous sights. The route takes the shape of a “W”, hence the name W Trek.

What is the Best Time of Year to Trek Torres Del Paine?
You can start a trek in Torres Del Paine in November and trek through mid April. I personally like March into early April. The best time to visit Torres Del Paine will be October through April.
Torres Del Paine will look different in different seasons. Patagonia reveals its true colors through springtime blossoms and fall foliage. And since they’re the shoulder seasons, the crowds are fewer to immerse yourself more in nature.
