EcoCamp Patagonia

Take on the legendary Paine Circuit—also known as the O Trek—on a nine-day journey around the entire Paine Massif.

Venture beyond the classic W Trek into the remote northern side of Torres del Paine National Park, crossing open valleys, ancient lenga forests and dramatic glacier landscapes. Climb John Gardner Pass for unforgettable views over Grey Glacier and the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, discover Dickson and Los Perros Glaciers, enter French Valley and finish beneath the iconic granite Towers.

The expedition includes six nights camping along the circuit, followed by two nights at EcoCamp Patagonia in a Standard Dome, subject to availability. Superior and Suite Dome upgrades may be available for the final two nights.

Please Note: This is a camping/trekking expedition, which means you’ll be camping every night of the trip. We do offer an optional upgrade to our EcoCamp Domes for the last two nights of the program. The upgrade is dependent on our availability.
