Patagonia

As nature recovers from the winter months, you’ll see vivid landscapes with blooms and green buds. Beware of closed trails due to snow early to mid-October.

Spring

In the hiker paradise, summer features open trails and enjoyable weather to take in the stunning views. January is the busiest and most expensive month.

Summer

The stunning contrast of snowy peaks with bright reds and yellows makes fall a photographer’s paradise. It is also less windy. Most hotels close at the end of April.

Fall

Winter provides unique and fascinating views over the frosted steppes and mountains of Patagonia, but most of the hikes are inaccessible, making it a dead season in both El Chalten and Torres Del Paine.

Majestic Land of The Big Feet

Patagonia – Majestic Land of The Big Feet

The hike from Grey Glacier to Gardner Bridge is a lesser-known but incredibly scenic trail that offers striking views of the Grey Glacier, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, and the surrounding landscapes. It also features two beautiful suspension bridges along the way.

We recommend doing this trail either at the end of your first day in W-trek, or the following morning. You also don't have to go all the way up if you don't feel like it and turn around even after the first bridge.
