Horse Riding in Torres del Paine
Day rides or longer treks that explore the pampas with the gauchos, head up to glaciers or follow trails through the Cordillera Paine with its mile-high granite peaks.

Torres del Paine's wild and rugged landscape calls out to adventurous souls. Whether you choose to ice hike on a glacier, horseback ride across open pampa, kayak down secluded rivers or across iceberg-filled lakes, or mountain bike through forests, Torres del Paine is the perfect place for a challenge.
Torres del Paine is an adventurer's playground. Multi-sport trips allow you to experience all the different landscapes to their fullest: the steppe on horseback, the quiet dirt roads by bike, the glaciers of the Serrano river by kayak and the massif on foot.
Kayaking: explore Torres del Paine's network of glacial rivers, lakes and channels. Spend a few hours paddling past crystal blue icebergs on Lago Grey, or a few days drifting down the Serrano River.
Mountain biking: ride cross-country on dirt and single track. Breathe in the mountain air, roll past unsuspecting guanacos and you pedal on towards the horizon.
Horseback riding: deep-rooted in Patagonian culture, horse riding is one of the best ways to experience the land through the eyes of the very first settlers. Ride across vast stretches of open pampa and visit some of the traditional estancias, still fully functioning today.
Trekking: Torres del Paine's most famous adventure. The W Trek and Full Circuit Trek are well known, but hidden throughout the park are some quieter, off-the-beaten-track trails where you might not see another person all day.
Ice hiking: don crampons and ice axes and tackle the famous Glacier Grey.
Fishing: try your hand at fly fishing for chinook salmon and trout on tranquil rivers amongst snow-capped peaks.

For those who want to try as many different activities as possible, these trips ensure you really max out the time that you have in the park and often require no previous experience, meaning you can try your hand at a number of different activities during your stay. Some trips feature stays in luxury lodges and hotels, others make use of the many refugios dotted around the park.

When the evening arrives you can soak your legs in a hot tub, admire the views and prepare for the next day's adventure.
If you have a bit of experience with adventure sports, maybe a bikepacking tour or a multi-day kayak, our more challenging trips can help you stretch your limits. Bushwhack deep into hidden valleys, rock climb amongst condors, don crampons, ice axes and harnesses to hike across glaciers, or cycle and kayak through some of the most secluded areas of the park.
Some trips require more technical knowledge than others, but you will need to have some experience of each of the activities involved. If you're keen for a challenge but aren't sure which would be right for you, send one of our specialists a message informing them about your experience and what you're looking for.
The winter season runs roughly between May and September. As the summer crowds tail off, intrepid adventurers who don't mind a bit of snow have the national park almost to themselves. Trekking, horse riding, kayaking and mountain biking excursions continue into the winter months, where you'll have the benefit of quieter routes and lighter winds, and higher chances of spotting wildlife against the snow-white background.
Too many! Lunch at a glacier watching an avalanche, celebrating my birthday and my best friends birthday with a specially made cake by the Serrano camp staff, getting about a foot away a wild Guanaco, our talks with our amazing guide Anne. Too many to name. Read the full review

No, our trips cater for all levels of experience, whether you are a complete beginner or a hardened veteran. Let us know what experience you have and we can tailor the activities to suit you best.

Yes, from a health and safety point of view, you will need a guide. Torres del Paine is a almost 450,000 acres in size and you will need the expertise of a local to show you the way. A guide will also bring the whole experience to life by sharing their knowledge of the local flora, fauna, culture and history of the park.
Accommodation can be catered to suit your requirements. Some people prefer to camp for a more rustic experience, but you may choose to stay at refugios, estancias, hotels or luxury yurt camps.
To make the most of a multi-sport experience, we recommend a minimum of three nights in the park. Ideally you will have at least five nights to combine trekking with another activity.
