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.

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.
