Trip Difficulty: Challenging
Spectacular Patagonia! Granite spires, massive glaciers, turquoise lakes and glistening blue icebergs. Words are insufficient to describe this stunning wilderness, its beauty must be glimpsed with ones eyes and its magic felt by ones soul. For all lovers of mountains and wilderness, a pilgrimage to Torres Del Paine in the Southern Patagonian Andes is an absolute must!
Torres Del Paine is one of the classic treks of the world and due to its remoteness and challenging nature still sees fewer visitors than many of the world's popular treks.
Lotus Expeditions offers two treks in Torres Del Paine National Park. The moderately challenging, W Trek is an abbreviated version of the full circuit. The Full Paine Circuit is a challenging 15-day adventure that circumnavigates the entire massif. The full circuit crosses John Garner Pass and visits the most beautiful regions in the park including Torres Del Paine lookout, Laguna Azul, the French Valley and Lago Grey with optional glacier hiking.
