Crafting Argentina Experiences · One Journey at a Time
Our Torres del Paine tours come in three shapes. The classic W Trek takes six days from Puerto Natales and sleeps four nights inside the park, in refugios or at campsites, either with a local guide or on your own with every night booked for you. If you would rather not trek for days, a four-day trip based in Puerto Natales takes you through the park on a full-day excursion and by boat to the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers. Any of them can be joined to El Calafate and El Chaltén on the Argentine side of the border, which is how most of our travellers do it.
Four trips inside the park and the longest route that includes it. How the formats differ is explained below the table.

Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
The W is the same trail whichever way you walk it. What changes is who walks with you, where you sleep and how much you carry, and that is also what moves the price.

Torres del Paine is in Chile, but the fastest way to combine it with Perito Moreno Glacier and El Chaltén is overland from El Calafate. The road to Puerto Natales takes around five to six hours, including the border crossing, so we usually plan it as a travel day between the two sides of Patagonia. If your trip is based in Argentina and you only have one day for the park, we also arrange a guided day trip from El Calafate. It is a long day with two border crossings, and it is quoted on request.

The W is walked in the main season, roughly from October to April, when the refugios and campsites are open. Places on the trail are limited and the summer dates from December to February go first, so the earlier you ask for a quote, the more choice of refugios you will have for your dates.
The W Trek in Torres del Paine: route, season and how to book it
On the W you sleep in the park's refugios or at its campsites, depending on the format you choose. Before and after the trek, and on the four-day trip, you stay in a hotel in Puerto Natales. If you would rather sleep inside the park in more comfort, we can quote one of its lodges or hotels instead.
If you still haven’t found what you are looking for, you can continue exploring other destinations. We have more than 80 itineraries designed for different types of travelers and all of them can be adapted to your tastes or needs.

Torres del Paine is easy to plan badly: the refugios, the campsites, the buses into the park and the catamaran all run on their own schedules, and the park sits on the other side of a border from El Calafate. We put those pieces together into one itinerary and quote it in writing before you book.
Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Torres del Paine trip is built.
Hotel nights in Puerto Natales with breakfast, in double rooms; the refugio or campsite nights and the meals marked day by day in your itinerary; transfers and excursions as described; a WhatsApp support line to our team at destination for the whole trip.
International and domestic flights, which we quote separately if you ask; meals not marked in the itinerary; museum tickets unless an excursion includes them; tips for guides and drivers. Your quote states what is and is not included, so the total is clear before you book.
Patagonian weather can close a trail section or stop a boat from sailing. When that happens, our team works with you on the best alternative within your dates, so the trip keeps moving.
