Paine Circuit Trek


The Paine circuit, around the famous craggy Paine massif, is rightly regarded as one of the world's classic trekking routes.

Our trek is for adventurous and physically fit travellers, willing to camp in beautiful and remote mountain areas of southern Chile.

You can upgrade to spend some nights in cozy eco-camps as we take you to the most remote and stunning parts of Paine National Park.

We provide pack horse and porter support to help share the load as you make your way around this amazing Patagonia trekking circuit.


Paine Circuit Highlights


The Paine circuit trekking route encompasses Paine and Dickson Lakes, Los Cuernos and the Torres (towers) of Paine, as well as a full view of Grey Glacier from above, and the chance to trek on the glacier.

In good weather you will have a stunning view over the South Patagonia Icefield as you cross the John Gardner pass, and possibly spot an elusive puma.

Your adventure starts in Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales. Once we’ve picked you up, our knowledgeable English-speaking guide will take care of you. Our home cooked meals will make sure you have enough fuel for the long days of trekking.

This trek runs every Wednesday, Nov-March, with a minimum of two people guaranteeing the departure.

Check our group and tailor made options. And you can always contact the office with questions or for advice.
