The W Trek is one of the world's most famous long-distance hikes - 80 kilometers through three stunning Patagonian valleys over 4-5 days. The W-shaped route connects the iconic Towers, Valle del Francés with its hanging glaciers, and Grey Glacier. Sleep in mountain refugios or camp beneath stars. Each day brings new jaw-dropping views: granite spires, turquoise lakes, ancient lenga forests, and glittering ice walls. Book refugios months in advance for peak season.
Park ticket $35. Accommodations separate: camping $20-40/night, refugio $80-150/night. Food extra. Book very early!
November-March for best weather (still unpredictable!). December-February most crowded - book 6+ months ahead. Consider October or late March for fewer people. All accommodations must be reserved before entering park. Bring layers for all weather conditions.
