Hike your way into the heart of wild Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, one of the most spectacular trekking areas in the world. Your route features several days of extensive hiking from five to fifteen miles per day, penetrating into the heart of the photogenic Paine Massif with an experienced naturalist trekking guide. You hike among spectacular mountain peaks on trails that pass turquoise lakes, waterfalls, and rolling pampas rich with wildlife, to high base camps and lookouts with spectacular views of sheer rock walls, calving glaciers and soaring condors. Your accommodations are private, double tented domes at the EcoCamp and rustic, shared bunk-style mountain refugios – at both you enjoy hearty, delicious Patagonian cuisine and plenty of new friends to hike with!
My favorite thing was hiking in Torres del Paine -- I've spent a good portion of my life visiting the major mountain ranges of the world, and Patagonia just floored me. I'll definitely recommend Wildland to my friends.
