Chile has been named the best adventure travel destination in South America at the World Travel Awards for the last 11 years. Why?

Unique nature, climate diversity, and geographic contrasts are the principal characteristics that make Chile an incomparable destination. The great geographic barriers that surround Chile, such as the Atacama Desert, the Pacific Ocean, the Andes Mountains and Patagonia, and the Antarctic Territory, give a distinctive character that allows you to take part in adventure activities in places in which man has barely set foot. Welcome to the Adventure country in Sudamerica...Chile!

The W Circuit will make you fall in love with Chile’s Patagonia. The pictures speak for themselves, but could never do justice to the sights, feelings, excitement, and pure awe that you will experience while hiking the W Circuit. Hiking through unbelievably big mountains, deep valleys, and dense, mysterious forests will leave you grateful for life and the exact moment you’re living. The W Circuit is the most popular hike in Torres del Paine National Park for a reason – it’s stocked with all the highlights, including Las Torres Base Viewpoint, Los Cuernos Mountains, Francés Valley, Paine Grande and Grey Glacier .
