What the CLP $1,300,000 program covers, day by day

Day 0 is a briefing at the W Circuit Patagonia office in Puerto Natales. Day 1: Base Torres, 22 km round trip, about 8 hours, and a night at camp with dinner. Day 2: Pudeto–Paine Grande catamaran, then the French Valley, 22 km and about 8 hours. Day 3: hike toward Refugio Grey (about 11 km, 4 hours), the glacier viewpoint, the Grey III boat and the return to Puerto Natales.

What it leaves out

Park entry (see above), flights, airport transfers, personal and medical insurance, additional nights and tips. The listing says minors are typically accepted from 14 years old, to be confirmed, and asks for good fitness for days of up to 8 hours and 22 km. Season dates are not stated in the listing: confirm them before you book.

Day trips versus the W: the real difference

The day-trip route costs about a quarter of the W Trek, CLP $345,000 against CLP $1,300,000. What you give up is sleeping in the park, which saves the 3-hour round trip by road each day, and the program's meals and camp logistics. The Express is the middle option: one night inside the park for CLP $460,000.
