Packing the right gear is critical to the successful completion of any circuit or thru-hike, especially the “O” and “W” Treks in Torres del Paine. In this post, we will provide you with a complete checklist of everything you need to make sure your hike goes smoothly. We’ll even give you links to the exact items we used on this adventure!

COMING SOON!! - Whether you’re embarking on the full “O” Circuit or the famous “W” Trek, this provisioning list is the essential guide for what foods to pack and where to find them. I’ve taken space, weight, and cals/oz into account so that you can be sure you have the right nutrition on your epic wilderness adventure!

How do you pack for a place with constantly changing weather? Layers, layers, and more layers! In this post, we’ll tell you about all of our favorite clothing items for trekking Torres del Paine and why we can’t live without them.

Of all the gear you carry with you on a thru-hike or circuit, none impacts you quite as much as your backpack, your tent, and your sleeping bag (ok, maybe also your boots, but that’s a whole other post…). If you botch any of these items, your trek is going to be significantly harder than it needs to be. In this article, we’ll compare different options for each item, tell you which ones we use, and why we think they are are the best (or not!) so you can make the most informed decisions about your gear.
