Torres del Paine National Park. It is one of the most spectacular parts of the Patagonia region and the southern Andes; located at the southern tip of the Americas. The park is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and one of the most visited in Chile. Torres del Paine lies between the Andes Mountains and the Patagonian Steppe in southern Chile giving on to the Atlantic coast. So then; it is an area of great scenic beauty; with many ridges, crags, glaciers, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, and lagoons.
Then; this itinerary will cover the striking pointed peaks and massive glaciers of the Paine Massif and Southern Patagonia Ice Field; along what is popularly known as the “W” route based on its circuit shape.
Following in just over a week; you will trek through almost 40 miles (60 km) of trails and stay at a variety of lodges; shelters (refugios) or camping for the overnights.
After all; this tour is best suited for experienced trekkers; or physically-fit adventurers who are willing to practice hiking trails with, at times, demanding conditions. Crowds of trekkers/travellers are more prevalent during the high season; which also overlaps with pleasant summer weather in the Southern Hemisphere.

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.
Walking on the Glaciar Río Túnel Inferior, was an amazing experience – Huemul Circuit
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.
It was a fantastic experience, we trekked in el chalten for 5 days. The guides Ed and Teo were very experienced, and the food was exquisite. It was one of a lifetime experience. Highly recommend.
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.
Yes! We are very happy with our trek in Patagonia. Francisco was very friendly and a great guide too, thanks for organizing our dream trek 🙂
Yes, amazing time. Francisco is the best 🙂
It was a very rewarding experience! The itinerary was very detailed and I knew what to expect each day. Unu Raymi Expeditions delivered & I will definitely use them again 🙂
