THE W-TREK IN
TORRES DEL PAINE
Patagonia is jaw-droppingly beautiful. From the port of Puerto Natales to the wild and remote landscape of Torres del Paine, you’ll have no choice but to fall in love with such a magical, special place at the very southern trip of South America.
Patagonia is known for its majestic mountains and glaciers and the trails through Torres del Paine National Park will offer spectacular views of the Towers, Grey Glacier, the Cuernos and Paine Grande. The jagged peaks and spires create absolutely spectacular scenery.
Staying in the mountain refugios will allow you to share meals with other hikers and travelers from all over the world, giving you a comfortable, cozy bed to sleep on as you reflect back on your days in the park.
Patagonia embodies the type of destination we want to share with our travelers. You'll see herds of animals you didn't even know existed in the world, drink directly from glacial streams, experience breathtaking views, and likely be as far south on the planet as you've ever been.
“The Pathways team put together the perfect itinerary for our honeymoon! I could not have imagined a better trip.”
