Torres Del Paine Circuit
This is an outstanding circuit for the trekker looking to complete a spectacular foray around the high peaks of Torres del Paine.
On the initial stages porters carry some of our gear (and we carry some of our own gear) as we follow remote trails through undulating grasslands and woodlands to the least visited part of the national park.
Hiking above the forests we enter a world of granite peaks, hanging glaciers and glacial lakes as we forge a route over the John Garner Pass.
From the pass we are rewarded with magnificent views of the Grey Glacier and as far as the Patagonian Ice Cap before completing a rugged descent to the shores of Lago Grey.
A day is set aside to explore the surface of the Grey Glacier using crampons, which for many is a trip highlight. We continue our circuit to the south for a different perspective of the 'towers' from the 'W' trek.
We enjoy forays up the French Valley and the Ascensio Valley before we finally ascend to the base of Torres del Paine for one of the most unforgettable mountain views in the world.
