Visão geral

O Circuito W curto é um trekking guiado de 5 dias que reúne os cenários mais conhecidos da Patagônia chilena, todos dentro do Parque Nacional Torres del Paine. Foi feito para quem gosta de caminhar e quer ver o melhor da região sem perder tempo. No total, você percorre 58 km entre bosques fechados de faias, lagos glaciais cor de turquesa e picos de granito que dominam o horizonte.

A trilha entra fundo no Vale do Francês, um anfiteatro natural cercado por paredões de rocha e cortado por rios. Em outro dia, uma caminhada seguida de passeio de barco leva você até a muralha de gelo azul do Glaciar Grey. O roteiro fecha com uma subida íngreme até a Base das Torres, com as três agulhas de granito bem à sua frente.

A hospedagem junta natureza de verdade e conforto. São 3 noites nos domos geodésicos do EcoCamp Patagonia, um acampamento totalmente sustentável que funciona principalmente com energia solar e de micro-hidrelétrica. Para completar a experiência ao ar livre, uma noite é de barraca, no camping de Paine Grande, bem perto do Lago Pehoé.

  • Roteiro completo: catamarã pelo Lago Pehoé, trekking no Vale do Francês até o mirante Británico, caminhada no Lago Grey, passeio de barco até a frente do Glaciar Grey e a subida pelo Vale Ascencio até a Base das Torres.
  • No dia mais puxado do trekking, com 22 km, chegue à Base das Torres, a 897 m (2.943 ft): um lago glacial aos pés de três torres de granito.
  • Depois de 11 km de caminhada pela margem do Lago Pehoé, navegue até a parede de gelo do Glaciar Grey e brinde com uma bebida servida com gelo do próprio glaciar.
  • Durma 3 noites num domo aquecido do EcoCamp Patagonia (Standard, Superior, Suite ou Suite Loft), acampamento movido a 90% de energia solar e micro-hidrelétrica.
  • Atividades conduzidas por guias de trekking que falam inglês e espanhol, na proporção de 1 guia para cada 6 viajantes.
  • Pacote com tudo incluído: traslado de ida e volta a partir de Punta Arenas ou Puerto Natales, 4 noites de hospedagem, todas as refeições, entrada do parque, os dois passeios de barco, equipamento de camping, carregadores e guia local de trekking.

  • Atenção: o tempo na Patagônia muda rápido. Por clima ou segurança, o guia pode inverter a ordem dos dias, encurtar ou substituir uma atividade, principalmente em outubro e abril.

  • ChegadaEcoCamp Patagonia · por volta das 17h30 · Briefing do trekking

O seu circuito W de 5 dias começa de manhã, com busca no hotel ou no aeroporto de Punta Arenas ou Puerto Natales. No caminho, a van faz uma parada em Puerto Natales, cidadezinha à beira do fiorde Última Esperanza, para um almoço de comida local (ou um almoço embalado, conforme o traslado).

Daí em diante, a estrada cruza a estepe patagônica e entra no Parque Nacional Torres del Paine. Fique de olho na janela: a fauna aparece pelo caminho até o EcoCamp Patagonia, onde os domos ficam de frente para as Torres. À noite, o guia explica a caminhada do dia seguinte.

No pé sudeste do maciço, uma ponte pênsil cruza o Rio Francês e a trilha começa a subir para a parte alta do vale, entre paredões de rocha enormes. Se o ritmo permitir, o grupo chega ao mirante Británico. O almoço? Piquenique na própria trilha.

A descida passa por terrenos variados até o Refugio Paine Grande, à beira do Lago Pehoé. O jantar é servido dentro do refúgio, e a noite é numa barraca montada com o equipamento incluído na viagem.

Em seguida, o barco chega bem perto da parede de gelo azul do Glaciar Grey, e a tripulação serve uma bebida com gelo do próprio glaciar. Depois, um veículo leva você de volta aos domos para um banho quente e o jantar. É o dia de caminhada mais curto do trekking W em 5 dias.

Se o barco não puder sair (por mau tempo ou por ter menos de 10 passageiros reservados), você caminha até um mirante do glaciar, volta a pé para Paine Grande e retorna de catamarã e van.

“What a great trip!! We (family of 5- 2 adults + 3 teenagers) and a friend's family of 4 adults did the shorter 5 day W hike. Fantastic hikes and just superb guide-Paolo. The stay at the ecodomes and the fantastic gourmet foodis unforgettable. Everything from pick up/drop off/hikes etc was impeccableHighly recommend to all”

“My husband and I completed the 5-day W-Trek experience with EcoCamp and it was incredible! It was an intense 3 days of hiking due to the limited daylight of late April, but so worth it for the dramatic landscapes with the beautiful contrast of snow capped mountains and autumnal flora. Our guides Cris and Jean were exceptional, knew exactly when to layer up or down and managed all paces within the group exceptionally well. They were professional but also had a great sense of humour to keep up all going. The trip was so well organised by EcoCamp, the meals provided were delicious and options extensive to suit any diet and appetite - I loved that we got to pack our own lunch and snacks to go in the morning. I also really liked the sustainability focus of EcoCamp and being completely offline. Could not fault anything, would highly recommend this!”

“This was probably the best trip of my life! We did the 5-Day W-Trek at the end of April and it was the experience of a lifetime. All the guides were incredible, knowledgable, personable, and I never felt unprepared for the day (Special shoutout to our guide Hans, our trip would not have been the same without him!). Everything truly exceeded my expectations, from the domes to the food and the service. I could not say better things about our trek and our stay with EcoCamp. Would recommend it 10000x over again!”

“The agency Travel and EcoCamp Patagonia delivered one of the best hiking experiences I’ve ever had. My wife, our two friends, and I traveled all the way from Asia for a 4-night stay at EcoCamp followed by the W Trek, and from start to finish, Patagonia absolutely impressed us. As someone who has hiked in many countries and mountains over 10–15 major trips, I can honestly say this ranks among the very best. The staff at EcoCamp were fantastic — warm, helpful, and professional throughout. The accommodations allowed us to truly rest well before and after long hiking days, which made a huge difference. The food overall was very good, especially breakfast and dinner. My only real suggestion would be to improve the lunch boxes for hiking days — they were a bit too heavy and not always ideal for trekking. Simpler, lighter options like sandwiches would probably suit hikers much better since you often don’t have much time (or appetite) for a large lunch on the trail. A huge shoutout to our guides, Martin and Angel — they were absolutely incredible. Funny, humble, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely made the experience even more memorable. Our whole group loved them. What really stood out was the logistics on the ground. The biggest area for improvement is pre-trip communication. Before departure, some logistics were unclear — airport pickups, transportation details, and post-trek transfers (especially onward travel) could have been communicated much better. We often felt like we needed backup plans just in case. Thankfully, everything worked out smoothly, but clearer communication beforehand would reduce unnecessary stress. Even a simple 30-minute call after booking to walk guests through logistics and transportation would make a huge difference. Overall, despite some mixed reviews online, our personal experience was exceptional. I would absolutely recommend them, especially for travelers coming from far away who want a well-organized Patagonia experience. With just a bit more clarity before the trip, this could easily be close to perfect.”

“My friends and I recently did the short W-trek and stayed at EcoCamp. I was very happy with the decision to book with them and stay at EcoCamp rather than hiking hut to hut. Even the standard domes are quite comfortable, the community areas fun and inviting and the food was terrific. Additionally, the guides they selected for our trek (Paola and Tammy)were really helpful, knowledgeable and fun. Lastly, we were able to book a private late departure so that we could hike most of the leg of the W-trek that was not included in this package on our last day.”

— Faye M

“This was an amazing trip - our superior dome and food was great and our guides did an amazing job with our group. We would not have had any where near the experience we did had we attempted to hike the W trek on our own. Would highly recommend eco camp!”

“Excellent service from the transport to the camp to the guides...everything met or exceeded expectations.”

“Amazing dramatic scenic views of Torres del Paine. Outstanding glamping and food. Great group of people - like minded and amazing atmosphere”

“Had a wonderful time on the 5 day W with Ecocamp. Our lead guide, Victor, and assistant Chris were fantastic. They kept us on schedule to get the best of every day and pointed out things we never would have seen without their support. . Logistics throughout the entire trip were perfectly timed, which is not an easy task.”

— Brad G

“We did the 5 day W trek and had an amazing time. We tend to avoid group tours and packages like this but since booking transport, park entry, refugios etc yourself is actually not that much cheaper and bit of a hassle, we decided to go with EcoCamp. Yes its expensive (by Australian standards) but we thought it was worth every cent. Personally I think its one of greatest holiday experiences I've ever done. From the start all the staff were very friendly, welcoming and spoke excellent English. We upgraded to a Dome Suite which was really comfortable and spacious. The camp itself is set high up with amazing views and gets beautiful sunrises. Our guides Javien and Tami were brilliant. They were really knowledgeable about all the terrain, flora and fauna of the park and both very passionate about Torres del Paine - they made all our hikes so much more enjoyable. The hikes were all amazing but being fit is a must as they are challenging at times. For the one night you stay at Refugio Vertice Paine Grande we upgraded to a dorm, expecting to be sharing with many people. Surpringly we were in a room to ourselves which was great! We'd recommend spending the extra to upgrade here as you'll want a comfortable bed after hiking more than 20km that day. The food at Eco Camp deserves a special mention - its excellent. Dinner each night was 3 courses of restaurant quality food. Breakfast each morning was equally impressive and they let you make your own packed lunch from a large array of food. We never went hungry! (The food at Vertice Paine Grande is not as good but youre in the middle of the park so its fine for what it is). All in all we don't think we can fault anything from our 5 days and would highly recommend EcoCamp for an amazing experience in Torres del Paine!”
