    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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?

    *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.
