We have a number of people asking about treks in April and with fewer scheduled departures going on at this time in the ‘shoulder’ season we thought it might be helpful to share details of a few guaranteed trips, and a few provisional trips going on.
April is in the Austral Autumn so you can expect shorter days, and cooler temperatures but also fantastic autumn colours and fewer people in the national parks.
Where dates are provisional please do let us know if they might be of interest and if it would be helpful to move the trip forward or backward by a couple of days.
In Torres del Paine…
The following W Trek trips are confirmed and guaranteed:
- Original W Trek, 5 days, starting on 15th April from Puerto Natales
- This ‘eco’ camp option, 7 days, starting on 7th, 14th and 21st April.
We also have some provisional dates where private groups might be open to others joining, or we have people interested but are yet to guarantee the group…
- W trek, with an off-the-beaten-track twist (12th-17th Apr) and a 2 day kayak trip (18-19th April) – a pretty challenging expedition, only for experienced outdoors people.
