Experience Overview

Here's a quick six-day trip that's simply perfect as an add-on to other Patagonian adventures. Torres del Paine's W Trek is celebrated by active travellers globally as one of the most scenic treks anywhere. Spend four days walking through stunning landscapes surrounding Grey Glacier, French Valley, and the imposing three towers. While the trek alone is challenging enough, the real contest comes in needing to take your camera out so frequently.

Highlights

  • Trek the spectacular W Trek in Torres del Paine National Park
  • Snap a photo of the famous three towers of Las Torres
  • Marvel at the lakes and glaciers en route

Hiking was too fast - and didn’t need to be, we could have left earlier or arrived later to make it a more enjoyable experience. Constantly felt like we were rushing to make various random timings.

An incredible experience with G adventures on one of Patagonia’s greatest treks. The only thing better than the environment was the guides and CEO. Would recommend to anyone interested in the W trek.
