The famous \u201cW\u201d is a shorter and lighter version of our \u201cPaine Trek\u201d and refers to the form of the trail we follow. This program is for trekking enthusiasts who wants to visit Torres del Paine National Park.
\nFlora and fauna abound along the trail and it is not rare to spot local Andean ostriches or guanacos among other animals. Nevertheless, the most impressive spectacles here are probably the colossal granite towers that jut out of the landscapes and change color throughout the day.<\/p>\n
On this trip you will cover the main natural attractions within the park, including Grey Glacier, Lake Nordenskj\u00f6ld, and the \u201chorns\u201d of Torres del Paine. Memories to last a lifetime!<\/p>\n

Meeting in Puerto Natales. Transfer to Torres del Paine national park. The park, created in 1959, has since then been declared an important heritage site by UNESCO.

Full day hike (approx. 10-12 hours). This is probably the most strenuous day. We start early in the morning from our camp in Pehoe to enter the wonderful French valley. We enter as far as possible into the valley, according to group trekking rhythm. Along the valley it is common to see small avalanches falling down from the French glacier. From here we can also see the famous horns of Paine. As we trudge on we see more of this impressive granite scenery and understand why the French valley is an icon among mountaineers and rock climbers. We leave the valley and return to the main path which will lead us to camp Cuernos where we spend the night.
