Patagonia: Explore the Miradors of Torres del Paine
This is a great trip for those who like to explore the beautiful miradors around Torres del Paine National Park, a short trip with short hikes and great spots for Photography.
Discover the best of Patagonia.
“Rock, ice, snow, wind, and water, all warring with each other yet combined against man, here reigned in absolute sovereignty.” Charles Darwin said this about Patagonia when he first entered the Tierra del Fuego over some 150 years ago. It’s a very good description of the Southern Cone; the last rugged expanse before Antarctica and the end of the world. Patagonia is a much larger region than many explorers realize. To have a full experience in Patagonia takes time, some creativity, and a passion for the vast wilderness of the Pampas & beyond.
When is the best time to visit?
Patagonia is open 360 days a year. The best time to go really depends on your primary interests. Winter is best if skiing/snowboarding is your passion. If you like to indulge your inner naturalist and spend your time wildlife spotting, then spring/summer/autumn are ideal seasons. And while you can certainly enjoy mountain trekking in the winter (there’s something primal and rewarding about trudging through the snowy mountains for days on end), summer is a great time to view the sweeping panoramas from mountain peaks.
How many days do you need?
If you only intend to visit one location in Patagonia; then you won’t need more than four or five days. However, to really experience Patagonia (both the Chilean and Argentine sides), requires about two weeks minimum, but you can plan a faster itinerary that will allow you to see many of the great places in nine or 10 days as well.
Joining Arrangements: There will be a pre-trek briefing held usually the evening before departure, at your hotel, to go over the details of the trek and any specific requirements not already captured.

Overall, the trip was very nice and James was helpful and responsive! I started with the O Trek in Torres del Paine in Chile together with the friendly guide Fransisco/Pancho and the amazing cook/porter Teo from Peru. Afterward, I had a few very nice day hikes with the guide Martin in El Chaltén, Argentina.

I agree with Ally, this was an amazing trek and it was even better than I had imagined it would be! Edu is an amazing guide, fun to chat with when walking, and very knowledgeable about everything Patagonia has to offer. He adapted quickly to the minor weather challenges we faced and ensured we saw everything planned! Additionally, Teo is an amazing chef. His ability to craft delicious 2-course meals at every stop is incredible and is something I wish I could do even when I have a full kitchen at home! Always with a smile, he carried a massive pack for the entire trip to ensure that we enjoyed delicious meals, and was always willing to laugh with us at our poor attempts at speaking Spanish.
A 5-star trek and I will make sure to get my reviews in on those websites to ensure this company can continue to grow and give others the amazing experience that we had.

I will write a review on Google as well. But wanted to say that I have nothing but amazing things to say about the tour! It was a great route. And I cannot speak more highly of Eduardo and Teo. Eduardo is a very knowledgeable, kind, enthusiastic guide. And Teo’s food was so delicious! It was always a treat to come back to camp and enjoy a warm, delicious & somehow different meal each time! 5 Star Trek, would recommend very highly!

Although the organization is a bit messy, it was eventually a great experience in Patagonia. James has been helpful when there are any unclarity or questions. The ‘O’ trek and El Chaltén have so much to give. The guides are fantastic. They do all they can to make sure I’m safe but also, they’re a lot of fun!

The trip went well and Francisco was a great guide, thank you for organizing the tour with him!
Only thing that got me a little by surprise is that we were not doing the W Trek as advertised as some of the routes were closed for winter. It would have been good to know that in advance as it might have influenced my decision to take the tour or meet my expectations as the reason, I was taking it was a pretty personal one and hence I was quite disappointed when I heard. Francisco did make it a really good tour though and Torres del Paine national park is beautiful.
