For those who want to try as many different activities as possible, there are set packages that ensure that you can really max out the time that you have in Torres del Paine. These mostly require no previous experience, meaning that you can try your hand at a wide variety of different activities during your stay. If you’ve never ridden a horse or been in a kayak before, there are few better places to get in the saddle than in the shadow of the Paine Massif, or to have your first time on the water be paddling on an iceberg-filled lake.

Some trips feature stays in luxury lodges and hotels, others make use of the many refugios dotted around the park, to show you the best sides of the park.

Taking a multi-activity adventure in Torres del Paine doesn’t mean that you have to rough it. For those wanting a bit of luxury, you can stay in some of the most refined accommodation in the national park, where gourmet food, spa pools and stand-out service serve to heighten the experience of your daily excursions.

Luxury lodges and hotels offer a suite of adventure activities: By day you can be out hitting the trail in a host of ways, and then return to soak your legs in a hot tub, admire the views with a glass of excellent wine in the most beautiful surroundings and prepare yourself for tomorrow’s adventure.

If you have a bit of experience with adventure sports, particularly with specialist multi-day trips, our more challenging trips can help you stretch your limits. Bushwhack deep into hidden valleys, rock climb amongst a sky full of 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'll definitely 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, our specialist can talk you through the best options for your interests and levels of experience. 

The winter season in Torres del Paine runs roughly between late April through to September. Hikers who flock here in summer disappear, leaving those who don't mind a bit of snow having the extraordinary experience of having the national park almost entirely to themselves. 

While the choice of accommodation narrows during winter as many places shut for the season, trekking, horse riding, kayaking and mountain biking excursions all continue into the winter months. Once wrapped up warm, you'll have the benefit of quieter routes and lighter winds to enjoy, as well as higher chances of spotting wildlife against the snow-white background.
