Thank you so much for the detailed video. Our W day trail is in 2 weeks and we're so excited (but also a little nervous since this is our first multi day trekking trip). Coincidentally we're staying in the same refugios as you did - so you gave us a great taster. Thank you again!

Absolutely stunning. What camera did you use to get your footage- the footage is so crisp and stunning!
Great video. How did you book the camp sites?
WOW! Loved your video! Hoping I can go next year so I'm saving up and preparing! Do you mind me asking how much was your budget/costs for this portion of the trip? Also noticed you had hiking poles, which ones did you get and do you recommend them?
@travelwithfawn
Жыл бұрын
I rented the hiking poles from my hostel (Corner Hostel in puerto natales) I forgot how much but it wasn't expensive. My budget was a big high for this trip, the lodging is not cheap like $100 a night to stay in dorms. The tent option is cheaper around $40 a night, it's even cheaper to bring your own tent $7 for the campground.
Amazing video 😮 you've captured the beauty of this corner of Heaven on earth perfectly..!!! I have seen many videos on KZread about Patagonia, but yours stands out 😊 I'll be visiting this breathtaking place soon and your video has magnified my desire to see this place with my own eyes.. so thank you
Such a great video! How much did you end up paying for everything? :)
Hey Fawn, thank you so much for documenting your journey! Could you share with us where you bought your food from for the trip? I really really want to take cup noodles with me to Chile from Asia but I heard that Chile is very strict about any food being brought in.

Spring (September to November) and Fall (March to May) are some of the best times to visit Torres Del Paine! Hope this helps!
Best video in terms of what to expect and places to stay! Love the fall foliage - may I know which week of March/April you went? I’d really love to catch fall there after seeing your video. Also did you book through a company or on your own? Which is better for a first time multi-day hiking experience?
@travelwithfawn
10 ай бұрын
Hi I was there April 18, I think even a week or two earlier would've been better as some leaves are falling, but every year is different. I booked on my own because it was the cheapest. I think for first time it's very doable on your own as there are many people on the trail. However going with a tour might save some time if you don't want to book each of the refugios.

Awesome video! It makes me so excited to hike the W trek. Did you book the accommodations through an agency or did you do it all yourself? Tips on how to plan this trek would be beyond fantastic if you are willing to share of course. Again, great video!

That’s actually super impressive. The booking process overwhelms me greatly so far and keeps preventing me from pulling the plug haha. Good on you for being able to do that on your own! I’m actually curious about one last thing: how did you deal with the fear of doing it alone? Especially since it was your first multi day hike as a solo female. I will also do it as a solo female hiker and it actually really scares me haha. What if something goes wrong… what if I find myself in an unsafe position etc.
your video is so helpful to my next trip! When did you go for the trekking? I may go there during August and I am afraid of extreme cold weather.
@travelwithfawn

Hey! August is not the best time to go as it's winter! The refugios are only open from October-May, you would need a private guide outside of those times.
When did you go? It would appear your nailed your timing for the fall colours!!!! (Currently in the planning stages)

Beautiful video Fawn, thanks so much for sharing it online! I read through the comments but it doesn’t seem that somebody asked already: except for the first day where you used your day backpack, do you have to bring all your backpacks with you from one stop to another? Or are you able to drop the big backpack at the first campsite/lodge and take it back once finished the W track? Thanks!

Thank you so much for this! Would you make a video about your expenses?
@travelwithfawn
Жыл бұрын
It might take me a bit, when are you going? Most of the expense is the lodging inside the park, which can range from $10/night (you bring everything including tent and just rent the spot) to $50-$100 a night depends on if you want to stay at tent or dorm. I brought all my food except the dinner the first night ~$30 and purchased few drinks which was around $15. So in terms of lodging I would estimate I spent $350 for 3 nights (this would be less if you are sharing the room with someone else, I didn't). I spent $50/night at Puerto Natales, but you can get much cheaper or expensive lodging as well there.

Thank you for the very informative video, beautiful hike!! I'm also planning a solo trip to the W trek this November, unfortunately the refugios at Frances and Cuernos are already booked out. Only options are camps and I don't want to bring camping gear with me. Did you have trouble finding availability for the refugios? I assume you booked on the Las Torres & Vertice websites? If there truly aren't spots, do you know if I can skip this section somehow?

Hello, I didn't have issues with booking but I went during low season in April. I think there are few other camps available close to those two, maybe Italiano? You can also rent tents from the refugios if you don't want to bring the gear. Yes, I booked using those two websites.

@travelwithfawn

I'm not certain since I didn't stay at Lago Grey Hotel, but the transportation is very mature in the park, so it should be easy to get there by bus and the hotel can probably pick you up/drop off somewhere if it's not direct.
Q)What time should you arrive at ” camping Grey, you can then board the boat that sails right to the facade of Glacier Grey” I’m trying to find the boat information kindly share if you happen to have it

Hey, check out the official lago grey navigation website, there are multiple boats daily, camping grey is only 10 minute walk from the doc so you can just arrive before the boat leaves. I think my boat was leaving around 2pm, but that could've changed. Good luck!

Can i go like Point 1 and 2 on day 1, return to the same hotel.. then Point 3 to Point 4 and return to same hotel.

Yes, I think the opposite way is more popular! And you would see the sunrise at the three towers, which I hear really nice! When I went, the weather seemed unpredictable and I wanted to maximize my chance of seeing the towers so I started on a day when the weather seemed the most clear to go to the tower. However it turned out the weather was great all 4 days.

*Reminder: The denomination "patagonia" is absolutely Chilean; there is no "Argentine Patagonia"; This was a contemporary appropriation (theft) of the Argentines for purely tourist purposes* *"Patagonia" derives from the expression "patagones" with which the Portuguese navigator, Hernando de Magallanes (1480-1521) identified the natives who inhabited the famous Strait of Magellan; and this strait is Chilean and has always been Chilean* Furthermore, geographically and climatically speaking, Chilean Patagonia is "green", humid and cold; On the other hand, the falsely called "Argentine Patagonia" is desert - arid (see satellite map) without prejudice to the territorial thefts that the Argentine Republic has carried out in the past on sectors of Chilean Patagonian territory, such as, for example, the attempted unilateral aggression and war by Argentina in the so-called "Beagle Conflict" (1978) where the Argentines attempted to steal by armed means all of Chile's strategic and iconic territories that make up not only the end of America, but also the end of the world. Fortunately evil (and envy) never triumph.
