Torres del Paine W Trek Refugios
Torres del Paine W Trek Refugios
What is a Refugio?
A refugio is a hostel. Rooms are dormitories furnished with bunk beds, with 6 people to a room, shared with other guests. Domos Frances are dome-shaped units, with metalic frames over which is tough, plastic sheeting, and the rooms here are also with a bunk bed set up.
Adjacent to the refugios is serviced camping, which comprises platforms upon which are tents, already set up, ground mats and sleeping bags, with inner liners, provided.
In the refugios, guests can book a bed only and bring their own sleeping bag, or book a “cama armada”, which means a bed with bedding. A “cama armada” is available in all the refugios, or simple beds plus kit, which means a camp-like bed, also with bedding.
The full board meal plan is also offered at all refugios, and serviced camping, meaning: hot dinner, breakfast and a lunch box to go or lunch at the refugio if you stay in, and in that order.
