Trekking in Patagonia
All ActivitiesWhat we offer…
Patagonia is one of the world’s most iconic hiking destinations and we can help you discover it with our bespoke itineraries and expert guides. We offer fully supported multi-day guided hikes in and around Torres del Paine and Bernardo O’Higgins National Parks. Whether you want to tick off the ‘W’ or Circuit hikes or explore some of the lesser known trails on the periphery we can design and arrange an itinerary to suit you. Our local office base in Puerto Natales ensures a wealth of local knowledge and means we are on hand to ensure your trip goes without a hitch. With the gateway town of el Calafate a bus ride away we can combine any of our Torres del Paine hiking trips with Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina. For those wanting to travel further afield, Chile and Argentina have 50+ National Parks between them, many with world beating hikes and trails to explore.
Trekking in Torres del Paine
The W Trek
The W Trek is a 75km trek, which zigzags in and out of the ribs of the Paine Massif. BlueGreen’s W trips range from four to six days.
Fitness and terrain
The W Trek is moderately difficult. However, the last section of the hike to the Towers is a ‘mountain goat’ hop over glacial moraine, this last section is a there-and-back trail so you only need go as far as you feel comfortable.
The Circuit
The Circuit Trek loops the Paine Massif via the John Gardner Pass, which flanks Grey Glacier and the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. BlueGreen’s full Circuit Trek takes eight or nine days, while BlueGreen’s Northern Glacier HIke takes six days.
Fitness and Terrain
The Circuit is more challenging than the W. Some sections of the John Gardner Pass, particularly, are steep, and slippery if it has rained. Other sections of the trek are rocky and boggy.
In addition to the popular and renowned W and Circuit hikes, we specialise in some of the lesser known treks that include not only the classic trails, but some of the equally beautiful areas on the Park’s periphery

Trekking in Los Glaciares National Park
Los Glaciares is just across the Ice Cap from Torres del Paine, and the scenery is just as spectacular, but a little more accessible. That’s because the fast-growing tourist town of El Chaltén is situated within the Park, making short treks a possibility.
BlueGreen’s Perito Moreno tour combines Trekking out of El Chaltén with a trip to the Moreno Glacier.
