travel advice
Adventure tips
John Penge, from our leading small group holiday specialist, Exodus Travels, shares one of his favourite Torres del Paine adventures: “Do the zodiac excursion to Balmaceda Glacier. Speeding along the water through this epic landscape is a rush and you will be awestruck when you get close to the glacier and hear the thunderous sound of it cracking.”Packing tips
Kathy Jarvis, from one of our leading Patagonia specialists, Andean Trails shares her packing tips: “The trails are good, but the weather can vary so pack accordingly - I recommend taking lightweight layers and full waterproofs, be prepared for freezing temperatures, high winds or glorious sunshine. The wildlife is stunning - take good binoculars and a book to help you identify what you see.”Hiking tips
“Pack snacks! Although you’ll probably be eating breakfast and dinner in your hotel, and the hotel can provide you with a packed lunch, you should pack snacks such as nuts and energy bars. There are no corner shops or ice cream vans!”
“If you’re not a hiker, or prefer gentle walks, stay in a hotel on one of the lakeshores, such as Lago Grey or Rio Serrano. The lakes are beautiful, with many flat walking trails to follow.”
Kathy Jarvis, from Andean Trails:
“There are some fabulous short walks within the park - one of my favourites is from Laguna Verde down to the administration centre, and another is the trek along the Pingo valley, plus for superb views do not miss the Mirador Ferrier. Be sure to walk as far up French valley as you can too, to get the best views of the granite spires.”
Tips from our travellers
We have selected some of the most useful Torres del Paine travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your holiday – and the space inside your suitcase.


“Make sure you have appropriate footwear (hiking boots). There is no need to bring a sleeping bag as these can be hired at the time – and they are good sleeping bags.” – Frank Sperling on our highlights of Patagonia holiday.
