In this Patagonia ultimate travel guide, I’m walking you through what hiking Torres del Paine National Park actually looks like—specifically the W Trek—so you can plan your trip without feeling overwhelmed. I share the real on-the-trail experience (yes, the weather can switch up fast), what the refugios were like, what we ate each day, and the little logistics that make a huge difference when you’re out there for multiple days. If you’ve been wondering whether the W Trek is “for you,” this video is meant to help you picture it clearly before you book anything. I also break down the essentials I’d prioritize for 2025 planning: how to think about your itinerary, what to expect from refugio stays, and the hiking gear that actually matters for comfort and safety on the trails. This is basically my one-stop prep guide to Patagonia—so you can spend less time stress-Googling and more time getting excited about those unreal views. If you want even more detail, I linked my packing video and my dedicated itinerary/tips guide too.
