Glad it was helpful! It’s a fairly confusing and daunting task booking on your own with a different itinerary which is why we tried to share as much as we can. I also have tips on our website blog. Appreciate the feedback too!
Thank you for sharing this informative video. I’m bookmarking it for next year’s hike. The way you did the O is how my wife and I see us doing it. I hope I can ask you for more info 😊
You’ll love it! I have planning tips on our blog - click the link in our bio to the website I have 3 posts on Patagonia. Bookings for 2024/2025 season started in July so not sure how space is as demand is high for the spots unless you mean 2025/26 season. Happy to help out in any way! We’re on the TMB now and it made booking Torres seem so easy! 🦙
Oh that’s great!! We did the TMB in 2018, Laugavegur in 2023, and just finished the West Highland Way this year! TMB was our favorite! Have a great time and stay strong and healthy you two!! 😃 I saw your blog already.
Thank you very much for this very complete video of the place... you have very smartly organized your tour, especially because you began by Camping Pehoe... Coming from Argentina (USHUAIA) I have been there for a part of W trek as I didn't book for anything in advance, not knowing if Chile would ask for vax certificate, which finally they did not... Next year I will do the whole O trek... was there feb 20, 2023. I am from Belgium... What I loved the most was the trek from Paine Grande to Grey refuge and back, and Salto Grande area... would also like next time to explore river Serrano area...
So glad you liked the video! U will love the O. Many people we met did the W before and this was their 2nd visit to complete the O. I couldn’t find any info on doing the route this way so was very glad it worked out. If you stay at Camping Pehoé next time, ask for a site across the street - u will get likely unobstructed views right from your tent as there aren’t many trees in that part. We just published our Ushuaia video today, memories are making me want to go back too! Did you go to El Chalten?
That was great! I like how you structure and narrate your videos, very concise and full of good infos 👍It's on my list of places to go to now. Nature looks incredible there.
Glad you enjoyed it! It is totally worth the travel to get there, plus you can also do the Argentinian side of Patagonia - 2 for 1! Appreciate your feedback.
Wow, this video is amazing! I loved seeing the stunning scenery and hearing about your budget tips for hiking in Torres del Paine National Park. It's inspiring to see how much adventure you can have while still being mindful of your expenses. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Awww thanks for such nice words! It was definitely out of this world to see Southern Patagonia. The great thing about hiking is that you can do it on a budget too.
Glad it helped. We were on the trail Jan22-Feb1 this year. We weren’t sure how fast we wanted to go so did not skip any campsites. It’s peak season but it was fine. It only felt truly busy at the miradors and Paine Grande. Are you planning to do the Q as well?
Wow! Amazing video! Thanks for sharing your experiences as well as tips for those of us who are planning to do this as well. We plan on staying in camp pehoe too however it seems like summer months cannot be reserved online. May I know how you made the reservation? Is it ok if there is no advance booking?
Thanks for the great feedback! Do you mean their summer (Dec on) - it may not be open yet for reservations and they close during winter. It is hard to get a hold of someone in the off season but try their whatsapp in a few months or the online booking maybe open then too. Have fun!!!!
I meant summer months in Patagonia. We’re looking at early february. I already messaged them in whatsapp and hoping they would reply. Thanks for answering my queries.
@carolyncoe131 so weird, got your question in my email but can’t find it on the video to respond to it. Bookings open early July for the next season, so book in July 2024 for the Oct 2024- April 2025 season. To save $, we booked directly with the 2 park operators. Hope this helps and please ask any other questions you have.
@@carolyncoe131 we used this online map to plan and understand distances and time. Our website blog has a couple articles on planning tips as well that may be helpful, link is in the ‘about’ section in our youtube page. There are no maps for sale at the campsites or visitors centre. We saw a historic map for sale in Puerto Natales and the Paine Grande shop but it’s more of a souvenir type than a real map. torresdelpaine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Mapa2017-2018.pdf
I (Karen) am pretty paranoid about bathroom stops and I never had to go while hiking. On the long sections eg after John Garner Pass, there is a western toilet at the check in at Camp Paso. If you do need to go in the bushes, make sure to look up ‘Leave No Trace’ principles ie 200ft away from water sources and to pack any waste out. I brought little doggy poop bags for TP and a kula cloth but never had to go. On the W, the distances aren’t too long between. There is a toilet at camp italiano for the frances lookout hike but no TP so pack that. The Argentina Fitz Roy side is another story.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I like that you give a lot of useful information throughout the video. Gorgeous footage ;)
Hey there, glad it was useful, love the feedback 😊
Top notch narrated journal of a challenging hike. At times it felt like I was with you on the trails.

@@YYZWanderers I must also tell you that it seems that the Huemules 4 days trek close to El Chalten is splendid... but with some difficulties...
ah, yes, maybe when I get some more hiking experience under my belt! Gotta leave something behind so I have a reason to go back again!
