Torres del Paine W Trek Map
Introduction
Here below is a Torres del Paine W trek map. Moreover, further below are a number of W Trek trail sector maps covering each part of the trail between the refugio stop offs. Because there are so many maps around, some good, some bad and some completely inaccurate, as responsible W Trek operators we have created our own, clear trail maps which are published below.
You will find that apart from showing the trails we also show the refugio locations, valleys, inclines, declines and altitudes. Important to note is that these maps are not to scale but are for illustrative purposes only.
Direction of the W Trek Trail Routes
Most important are maps showing the trekking route east to west as well as west to east.

Furthermore, at the end there is a map covering the full Circuit “O” Trek.
