W Trek
Torres del Paine has become synonymous with a particular trail called “the W trek”. The reason for this is due to the fact that this was the first trail of length that could be enjoyed staying overnight in simple refugios (hostels) or camping. Therefore, the overall outdoor, active walking experience of being in Patagonia amid some of the most outstanding and dramatic geographical scenery on Earth for a few days was very appealing.
In addition, due to the restrictions on holiday time, the W Trek became the most sought-after trail because it could be completed in 2 or 4 days. The W trek today can be hiked in a “super express” way (a shortened version) with only two nights’ accommodation on the trail, a usual “express” option with three nights on the trail, or the typical and traditional 4-night option on the trail. Also, there are extended 5- and 6-night options on the trail.
The “O” Circuit Trek
At the same time, the extended full “O”, or Circuit trek that takes in the Torres del Paine back country as well as the W Trek, has become established as the option to enjoy Torres del Paine, seeing more of the park and staying for longer.
