Trekking in Patagonia in Chile is an ethereal experience because this region is the perfect choral composition of valleys, mountains, forests, lakes, rivers and glaciers that can be so gratifying for the soul. Trekking is neither too tough nor easy and the effort is rewarded by the experience. There are intrepid souls who set off on a 10 to 15 day hiking tour all on their own, covering the entire “O” route and some who choose to explore only the W portion. Regardless it can be an eye-opening experience and highly gratifying but full of pitfalls because there are secrets to the trek that only local and experienced tour operators like Chile Tour Patagonia know about.
Planning and best time
October to April is the best time to plan a trip and make arrangements for trekking Torres del Paine by Chile Tour Patagonia. You will be glad you chose them to make arrangements for the O or W trek in Torres del Paine. They help with planning the trip and understand your preferences in order to devise a trek that will be enjoyable.
Accommodation
Unlike other tour operators who may put up guests in pre-fixed accommodation, ChileTour Patagonia offers the flexibility of stay in well appointed lodges along the way, in campsites or even guide trekkers on how to take best advantages of free campsites to reduce their cost and thus spend more days.
Food
One of the worries for trekkers is food. One can enjoy “W” Torres del Paine trekking in several ways. One is to travel from point to point and spend several days on the go, spending the nights at designated campsites where one can enjoy hot food but it is also important to carry nourishment for use during the trek. Guides help trekkers buy the best and light foods one can eat right out of the pack and stay energized. Small things do matter and little tips on selection of foods to carry make a great difference.

Packing and other advice
Most uninformed people would set off with a heavy rucksack full of stuff they do not need. Most treks last a whole day and over rough and steep terrain, which can make a fully loaded rucksack weigh a ton. Trekkers joining Chile Tour Patagonie Torres del Paine tours receive best tips on packing light and taking along only essentials and how to pack them to protect against wetting. This light weight makes the trek so much more enjoyable. Trekkers may be inclined to carry water bottles but guides deter them from carrying the added weight simply because one can drink from rivers and glaciers where the water is pure.
Off the beaten track
Trekking the “O” route or the “W” route in Torres del Paine is not just a straight walk from Point A to B. There are several hidden gems one can access simply by going off the beaten track and guides provided by the tour operator help their guests have a much more memorable experience by taking them to such places of interest.
It is like having a local knowledgeable friend to help each step of the way.
