Overview

Experience the raw beauty of Torres del Paine National Park on a fully guided seven day trek through the heart of Chilean Patagonia. From granite spires and hanging glaciers to turquoise lakes and windswept pampas, this is one of the world's great trekking destinations.

Based at Riverside Camp inside the national park, each day takes you to a different highlight: a boat excursion to the face of Grey Glacier, a catamaran crossing to hike the French Valley, the falls at Salto Grande beneath the horns of the Paine massif, and the signature trek to the base of the towers themselves.

With hotel nights in Puerto Natales either side, daily transfers, and breakfasts, boxed lunches and dinners included throughout, the logistics are handled so you can focus on the trail.
