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!

We had a fantastic time on the W Trek with a wonderful group of people. Our guides on the first day were incredibly professional, helpful, and patient. The food at the restaurant in Puerto Natales was outstanding. The boxed dinner provided at the Chiletour private cabin on the second night was also enjoyable. However, the boxed lunches we carried during the hike were disappointing – the sandwiches were dry and unappetizing. On the final day, we opted for lunch at Grey Lodge instead of carrying our own, which was a much better decision. Unfortunately, hot water availability was inconsistent. We only had one night with a consistently hot shower at the Chiletour private cabin. On other nights, there was no hot water at all, or the hot water supply ran out too quickly. Important Tip: Pack your own towels for your stay in the national park.

What an awesome trip, the guys made it easy from start to finish, everything booked and provided for out on the trail. The Cabin in Puerto Natales had amazing views, and was great start to what was probably best hiking experience I’ve done. Thanks Gonzalo and Richie for everything, and thanks to Guillermo and Hugo who guided us on the first day. Will never forget this awesome trip🫡

A group of friends and I booked through ChileTours for the W Trek. It was a great experience! Everyone was very kind and accommodating and helped to make sure we had a good experience. It was well organized. They made sure the four of us got to stay together at the cabins and refugios which was great. We were well fed and well taken care of. Would recommend!

Me and my friends had an amazing time! Richie and Gonzalo were excellent hosts and were extremely accommodating and organized to make all of the logistics incredibly easy for us. The food at El Brisket was delicious and their lodging for the first, second, and last nights were extremely comfortable and had amazing views. The guides for the base hike were also amazing and so nice! This company was great and I would recommend it to any of my friends doing the W-trek.

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!
