Torres del Paine W trek - Horizon Guides

Distance: 47 miles (75 km)
Trek duration: Four to five days
Start / end point: Park entrance
Difficulty: Moderate to strenuous

Torres del Paine is Chile's big-hitter, pulling more trekkers than the rest of the country combined. The views are unparalleled, trekking infrastructure and services are world-class, the only downside is the park’s seemingly unlimited appeal which means you’ll be sharing the views with plenty of other hikers.

This shorter version of the Full Circuit includes many – but definitely not all – of its highlights, and is the busiest section of the national park. Despite preferring the Circuit because of the wonderfully remote northern half of the trail, the W is still an incredible hike, and given the chance I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Hiking in Chile

Steph Dyson

A country to which superlatives can do no justice, Chile is probably my favourite place on earth for hiking and trekking. With virtually all the world's landscapes packed into one slender stretch of land, the scenery oscillates between arid desert, tropical islands, and piercing mountains, volcanoes and glacial lakes; of which a whopping 21% is protected by law.

Trekking in Torres Del Paine

Rudolf Abraham

Trekking in Torres del Paine offers some of the most sublimely beautiful scenery I’ve seen anywhere on the planet. Most famously, the Full Circuit trek is a truly epic 10-day trek through soaring, spectacular mountains, studded with jewel-like lakes and edged with vast, creaking glaciers – and the shorter W route is almost as good.

Best Surfing In Chile

Andrea Mujica

Chile may have 4,270km of coastline, but it’s not usually high on people's list of surf and beach destinations. While the beaches of the central regions in Chile have plenty of space for those who are looking to relax and catch up with a good book, most Chilean beaches are filled with wildlife and adventure.
