Trip Summary
Days 1 - 9 O Circuit, Torres del Paine
Torres del Paine is a trekker's dream destination with the most beautiful mountains and glaciers.
If you have trekking experience then we recommend you join a group on the O Circuit so that you not only see the W Trek’s highlights such as Glacier Grey and the Towers viewpoint but also camp out in the wilder more remote areas of the park. The John Gardner pass can prove challenging but you are rewarded with endless views of the ice field.

Days 9 - 14 Huemul Circuit, El Chalten

Days 14 - 18 Off-the-Beaten-Track in Tierra Del Fuego
Fly down to Tierra del Fuego and leave the wildest and most off-the-beaten-track trek until last. Trekking Deep into Tierra del Fuego is a 5-day journey with 70 km of travel and 2,500 metres of elevation gain, through the most spectacular and scenic places in the region.
This route stands out for its pristine nature with very few marked paths and camps. You will cross valleys, lagoons, glaciers, mountain passes, large lakes, peat bogs and high-altitude rivers.
The uniqueness will be the wildness of the place and the thrill of completing one of the most remote circuits on the Island.
