About this trip

The 'W' trek is the name given to the W shaped beaten track that interlinks the 3 Granite Paine Towers, the French Valley, and the Grey Glacier.  The trek is approximately 70 kilometers (43 miles) in total distance and is one of the most scenic treks in the world.


The Classic W Trek program is our most popular  multi-day adventure program.  You can prepare and do the W trek on your own, however doing it with us  will save you time, and your Patagonia visit will  be well organized and efficient.  


Our reservation's team will be initially assisting you in understanding your program and will guide you in your plans.   We will then be advising you in your logistical and physical preparations.  And when you finally arrive here, in Puerto Natales,  our Garden Domes hotel team will host you and provide trek briefings.  The next day, our  Chiletour team of guides and drivers will be assisting you on your first day as you get to know Torres del Paine for the first time,  and  after your Base of the Tower hike, you will be staying at a refuge or mountain shelter dormitory, near the welcome center, right at the bottom portion of the Paine Massif where you will have one most beautiful views of the Paine Towers.


Our many years of accumulated experience, wisdom and energy, our local team's knowledge of the land  and our nature inspired boutique hotel facility at Puerto Natales, are just some of the reasons why it is worth while doing this most famous trek and adventure of a lifetime with us!

A most memorable experience and a well thought out and impeccably run program. Would recommend without hesitation. The bonding that developed with all the participants within such a short period of time was remarkable and made the adventure that much more enjoyable.

I completed the O trek through ChileTour Patagonia in November 2024 with one of my friends. The experience was incredible! Our guide, Jose, was the best. His extensive knowledge of the park and route helped me learn about and appreciate the natural landscape. His caring, fun, and positive attitude made the entire trip a pleasure. Jose, along with our porter, Sebastien, took excellent care of us and handled all the logistics. Each person I interacted with at ChileTour Patagonia ~ Ricci, Cecilia, Gonzalo, Madi ~ were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Meals eaten at The Brisket restaurant before and after the trek were delicious. Food from the restaurant was provided at specific times during the trek. Having high quality, delicious food definitely added to my overall enjoyment. The accommodations in Puerto Natales provided by ChileTour Patagonia ~ cabins and garden domes ~ were very comfortable. I was also pleased to have private transportation into/out of the park as well as to/from the bus station in Puerto Natales. Thank you to everyone at ChileTour Patagonia for such an amazing experience in some of the most stunningly beautiful and amazing scenery in the world!

We had a great trip doing the W Calssic. Rocco and team were very helpful, personable and truly tried to ensure we have a good experience. In these places things don’t always go as planned but Rocco rolled with the challenges and assured everything g worked out in the end. The night at the rustic cabin with view to Torres de Pannes was truly stunning and a nice surprise.

I did the 5 day W trek in September and it was super worth it! Ricci and the team made sure all my needs were taken care of. The garden domes was comfortable and homey - I was welcomed by Lulu the cat and the hot tub was AMAZING. My guide was super friendly and professional and I really enjoyed not just the stunning views but the process of hiking I would 100% recommend it to everyone, especially solo travellers!

We had an incredible experience on the W Winter Trek with ChileTour Patagonia. The entire crew, including Ricci, Jose, Rodrigo, Maddy, and others, treated us exceptionally well. A special thanks to our guide Jose, whose professionalism and passion for his work truly stood out. Exploring the park with someone as dedicated and enthusiastic as Jose made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend this experience :)

We traveled in January 2024 with ChileTour Patagonia on the W Trek Classic, we highly recommend them! From Eason's introductory email and checklist, to Gonzalo's attention to detail in making our trek arrangements easy, and Ricci's hospitality with our welcome and farewell dinners, everything was handled so you can concentrate on the trek. All the lodges were good, we especially loved our cabin after the first day of hiking, as our party had it all to ourselves! For what you pay, ChileTour Patagonia was a great value, and we would recommend any travelers to the Torres del Paine National Park make ChileTour Patagonia your first stop!

We had such a wonderful time hiking the W, but that will happen regardless of how you book this trek. What Ricci and his crew do is; bend over backwards to make one feel welcome and at home. We were greeted with smiles off our bus from El Calafate, taken to awe inspiring views and a cup of tea at the garden domes and then gathered together to make a new little trekking family through a delicious meal at their restaurant Le Brisket. Coming off the trail was just as relaxing and refreshing, but most importantly filled with pizza! I would 100% work with this crew again and recommend them to all my friends and family. Not always prompt, but if you contact them through Whatsapp they will get back to you! There are a lot of moving pieces that the ChileTour crew is always juggling because they fits their service to the groups coming in; and all the problems that can arise from different people coming from different directions. However, I always trusted and they always provided everything we needed. Just reach out to them!
