Patagonia Trek – Intro
The AllTrails team had the to opportunity to go trekking during the first half of January and the consensus was that we should head to Patagonia. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Patagonia it is a region in the southern most part of South America that is located in both Chile and Argentina. How far south? Let’s just say you can take a short day trip to see penguins in their natural habitat and it is the jumping off point for many expeditions to Antarctica. Anyway, if you’re interested you can read more about Patagonia on Wikipedia.
Back to the trek. Including friends, the group included 14 people in total so while researching different treks it was important to make sure that no one was out of their ability or comfort zone. Ultimately the group decided on doing a 7-day W Trek in Torres del Paine National Park which is one of the most popular routes in Patagonia and includes views of Los Cuernos, Valle Frances, The Grey Glacier, Las Torres (The Towers) and the Eastern lakes. The route map below shows how the overall trek breaks down by day:
