Note: Dates may shift slightly as we wait for the mountain refuges to open—final timing will be confirmed as soon as guides receive updates.
At the far southern edge of the world, Chilean Patagonia feels raw, windswept, and unforgettable. In the Magallanes region, where the Andes tumble into fjords and granite towers rise over Torres del Paine, you’ll trace a landscape shaped by glaciers, explorers, and relentless wind—passing through Puerto Natales and along the paths once followed by Magellan and Darwin.
This guided “W” trek includes private transfers, English-speaking guides throughout, park entry, a ferry across Lake Pehoé, four nights in mountain refuges with full board on the trail, plus pre- and post-trek stays in Puerto Natales with breakfast. A welcome kit is provided for the hike. Flights, insurance, select meals, tips, and personal extras are not included.
Why This Adventure Feels Different
Patagonia is more than a destination — it’s an experience that invites you to slow down, challenge yourself, and reconnect with what matters most.
The landscapes are powerful, but what many guests remember most is how they felt along the way — stronger, clearer, and more present than they have in years.
At MORE Adventures, we believe adventure isn’t about moving the fastest or going the farthest. It’s about discovering what becomes possible when you step outside your normal environment and into something meaningful.

Trip Outline Itinerary
ARRIVAL DAY - PRE ADVENTURE
Arrive in Santiago de Chile by October 17 (or earlier) before the group continues south the next day toward Patagonia. A flight from Arturo Merino Benítez Airport brings you to the edge of the wild, where your guide welcomes you for the scenic transfer to Puerto Natales in the Última Esperanza region.
Set along the Señoret Channel and gateway to Torres del Paine, Puerto Natales blends frontier history with modern adventure energy. The evening unfolds with a welcome dinner and briefing before the journey into the mountains begins.
Day 1 HIGHLIGHTS
Arrive in Punta Arenas, where a warm welcome marks the start of your Patagonian journey and a scenic drive carries you along the steppe to Puerto Natales, gateway to Torres del Paine. Later, gather for a relaxed briefing and safety talk with your guide as the mountains ahead begin to feel very real.
Day 2 HIGHLIGHTS
After breakfast, set out from Puerto Natales toward the wild heart of Torres del Paine National Park, where a full day unfolds across its most striking viewpoints and landscapes. A quiet pause in the Pingo sector offers time to breathe it all in before arriving at the Las Torres area, where the mountains begin to feel wonderfully close.
Day 3 HIGHLIGHTS
Follow the trail through the forested Ascencio Valley as it steadily climbs toward one of Patagonia’s most iconic sights. A final scramble over boulders reveals the turquoise lake and the towering granite spires of Las Torres at the Base of the Towers, a view well worth the effort before retracing your steps to Torre Central for a well-earned evening.
Day 4 HIGHLIGHTS
Set out deeper into Torres del Paine, following trails edged by clear streams and the vivid waters of Lake Nordenskjöld, with the snowy slopes of Almirante Nieto rising above. Keep an eye out for condors overhead as you make your way toward Los Cuernos or Francés, where the day winds down in the heart of the park.
Day 5 HIGHLIGHTS
Start early into the wild heart of Valle del Francés, where the trail threads through forest and stone toward a natural amphitheater beneath Paine Grande and the jagged Los Cuernos. From the plateau, turquoise lagoons, hanging glaciers, and the distant rumble of ice set the scene before an easy walk carries you onward to Paine Grande by evening.
Day 6 HIGHLIGHTS
Set out toward Grey Lake through a winding valley, with first glimpses of the Southern Ice Field and drifting icebergs hinting at what’s ahead. From the Grey Glacier lookout, the vast blue wall of ice fills the horizon—while the optional hanging bridges beyond reveal dramatic views over the ravines of the Olguín Range and the glacier’s full, thunderous presence.
Day 7 HIGHLIGHTS
Enjoy a final wander near Grey Glacier if you wish, then follow the familiar trail back to Paine Grande with wide views over Grey Lake and the peaks of Torres del Paine. A scenic catamaran ride to Pudeto and an evening bus carry you gently back to Puerto Natales, closing the adventure with one last sweep of Patagonian wilderness.
Day 8 HIGHLIGHTS
A quiet drive carries you from Puerto Natales across the Patagonian steppe toward Punta Arenas, with distant views of the Magellan Strait along the way. It’s a gentle farewell to the wild landscapes of southern Chile as you make your way to the airport.

Travel insurance
Travel insurance is designed to help cover your expenses if something goes wrong on your trip, and fill any gaps that wouldn’t be covered by your primary health insurance or other insurance you may have. It’s not meant to be a substitute for health insurance and won’t cover non-essential overseas medical treatment, such as routine exams.
