Visão geral

No Circuito W sem guia, na Patagônia chilena, você caminha no seu ritmo e deixa a parte complicada, a logística, com profissionais experientes. É uma aventura totalmente organizada: as reservas e as refeições de todos os dias já vêm resolvidas. Antes de pisar na trilha, a equipe local faz um briefing completo e você recebe um app offline com todas as orientações da rota.

São 75 km (47 mi) dentro do Parque Nacional Torres del Paine. A trilha, bem sinalizada, sobe até os picos de granito da Base das Torres, margeia as águas do Lago Nordenskjöld e passa por Los Cuernos, pelo Vale do Francês e pelo mirante Le Plateau. Depois contorna Paine Grande e a Laguna de los Patos. O fim da linha são as paredes de gelo do Glaciar Grey.

Depois de cada dia de caminhada, você dorme em refúgios de montanha compartilhados ou em campings com barraca já montada, todos na beira da trilha. As refeições são servidas ali mesmo: comida farta, para recuperar a energia e seguir viagem no dia seguinte.

  • Roteiro completo: ida e volta até a Base das Torres, trilha pela margem do Lago Nordenskjöld até Los Cuernos, Vale do Francês até o mirante Le Plateau, caminhada até o mirante do Glaciar Grey, volta a pé até Paine Grande e travessia de catamarã no Lago Pehoé.
  • No Dia 1, suba a morena íngreme até a Base das Torres, três torres de granito sobre um lago glacial, num percurso de 22 km ida e volta.
  • Suba o Vale do Francês até o mirante Le Plateau, sob um glaciar suspenso e entre as paredes do Cerro Catedral e do Cerro Fortaleza.
  • Escolha o seu estilo, refúgio ou camping: cama em dormitório compartilhado ou barraca 4 estações já montada, com saco de dormir e colchonete.
  • Coma bem em todas as paradas: café da manhã e jantar no refúgio da noite e lanche de trilha todos os dias.
  • Sem guia na trilha: briefing com a nossa equipe local em Puerto Natales, rota bem sinalizada e app de navegação offline com mapas, dicas e as suas reservas.
  • Tudo incluído: ônibus de linha ida e volta até o parque, shuttle e entrada do parque, 4 noites de hospedagem, todas as refeições da trilha, catamarã no Lago Pehoé, equipamento de camping, briefing e app de navegação.

  • Importante: no Circuito W sem guia, ninguém caminha com você, mas na véspera tem briefing com os especialistas da nossa equipe local. As reservas são fixas; o tempo em Torres del Paine, porém, muda rápido, e as regras do parque ou os fornecedores locais podem mudar um camping, um refúgio ou o horário de uma travessia.

Itinerário

Dia 1

Ônibus até Torres del Paine / Trilha da Base das Torres / Noite no Central

  • Ônibus de linhaPuerto Natales → Laguna Amarga · 7h · 2 h no total, mais 20 min de shuttle
  • Trilha da Base das Torres22 km (13,6 mi) ida e volta · 8–10 h · Difícil
  • PernoiteCentral · Dormitório compartilhado no refúgio ou barraca no camping

O primeiro dia começa às 6h45, no terminal rodoviário de Puerto Natales: o ônibus de linha das 7h segue até o parque cruzando estâncias e as planícies abertas da Patagônia. Na chegada à Laguna Amarga, a entrada principal do parque, apresente o QR code digital de entrada que vem com a sua reserva e embarque no shuttle até o Welcome Center.

De lá, caminhe até o Refugio Central, deixe a bagagem e comece a subida pelo Vale do Ascencio. A trilha chega ao Paso de los Vientos, trecho exposto e de rajadas fortes em que vale seguir as instruções do app, e logo depois ao Refugio Chileno, a última parada com banheiro, comida à venda e internet.

Em seguida, a trilha entra num bosque de lengas e cruza pequenos riachos até um mirante, ao pé do trecho mais difícil do dia: a subida íngreme por uma enorme morena terminal. Lá em cima, as Torres se erguem sobre o lago glacial aos pés delas. A volta é pelo mesmo caminho até o Central, onde esperam o drinque de boas-vindas e o jantar.

Refeições incluídas: Lanche de trilha / Drinque de boas-vindas / Jantar

Dia 2

Trilha do Lago Nordenskjöld / Terra dos condores / Noite em Los Cuernos

  • TrekkingCentral → Los Cuernos · 13 km (8 mi) · 4–5 h · Fácil
  • FaunaCondores e outras aves de rapina sobre o Lago Nordenskjöld
  • PernoiteLos Cuernos (Domo Francés em outubro e abril)

Com sorte, você sai sob um nascer do sol patagônico em tons de rosa e laranja. A trilha segue para oeste, rumo à base dos Cuernos del Paine (dois picos de granito negro em forma de chifres), passa pela Laguna Inge e acompanha a margem do Lago Nordenskjöld. Fique de olho no céu: é por ali que voam os condores.

O caminho, bem sinalizado, sobe cerca de 200 m a partir da base do Cerro Almirante Nieto e cruza o rio Bader antes de chegar a Los Cuernos. A rota inteira está no app offline, então você sempre sabe onde está. No sentido leste-oeste, este é o dia mais curto do Circuito W. Bom momento para descansar as pernas.

Refeições incluídas: Café da manhã / Lanche de trilha / Jantar

Dia 3

  • MiranteLe Plateau · Glaciar suspenso, Cerro Catedral e Cerro Fortaleza
  • PernoitePaine Grande, no Lago Pehoé

Hoje o caminho entra no coração do Maciço Paine. Uma trilha sinuosa segue rumo ao rio Francês e chega à entrada do Vale do Francês. Dali, depois de uma hora de subida constante, o glaciar suspenso aparece pela primeira vez, lá no alto.

Continue subindo até Le Plateau, o mirante do vale, e almoce cercado pelo Cerro Catedral e pelo Cerro Fortaleza. Depois, desça pela mesma trilha e siga até Paine Grande, na margem do Lago Pehoé. O refúgio tem internet e bar.

Refeições incluídas: Café da manhã / Lanche de trilha / Jantar

  • TrekkingPaine Grande → Grey · 11 km (6,8 mi) · ~4 h · Moderado
  • OpcionalCaiaque entre icebergs no Lago Grey · Custo extra
  • PernoiteGrey, num bosque de lengas à beira do Lago Grey

A subida da manhã leva à Laguna de los Patos, com vista para partes do Campo de Gelo Patagônico Sul. Depois, a trilha atravessa bosques e rios, onde nadam patos-vapor, até o mirante do Glaciar Grey. Almoce com o glaciar aos seus pés e, com sorte, veja blocos de gelo se soltando das paredes.

Quer mais? Dá para fazer um passeio de meio dia de caiaque entre os icebergs, nesta tarde ou na manhã seguinte, desde que reservado com antecedência, junto com o trekking.

Refeições incluídas: Café da manhã / Lanche de trilha / Jantar

  • Catamarã e ônibusLago Pehoé · 30 min, depois ônibus de linha até Puerto Natales (2,5 h no total)

A manhã é livre: calce os crampons para uma caminhada sobre o gelo do Glaciar Grey, reme entre icebergs no Lago Grey ou vá a pé até as pontes suspensas para ver o glaciar de cima (quem está sem guia só pode ir até a segunda ponte).

Não dá para perder a última travessia de catamarã no Lago Pehoé, então combine bem os horários com a equipe do refúgio. Na caminhada de volta a Paine Grande, a vista é do monte Paine Grande e das paredes de granito do Cordón Olguín; depois da travessia, um ônibus leva você de volta a Puerto Natales, onde termina o Circuito W sem guia.

Avaliações

“They organize all the details, all the bookings, accommodation and food on the trek and transportation to and from Torres del Paine. They have a great app which you can use before and during the trip that has all your documents, the trip description day by day, the route on the map, and any details you need (like reservation numbers). They are super well organized and I really appreciated all the assistance in making my W trek in Torres del Paine as good as can be. Their communication before the trip was excellent and all logistical details taken care of. I really appreciated their care and thoughtfulness.”

“Everything from the pre-trip communications, guide briefing and hike itself was top notch. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family!”

“The W is 5 stars. It’s amazingly beautiful and we were fortunate to have good weather. The Refugio’s food and accommodations are reasonable given their remoteness and the daily turnover. We hiked west to east to avoid walking into a prevailing headwind. We stayed at Hotel Lago Grey and took their ferry to Refugio Grey. The hotel restaurant is good but the hotel wasn’t worth the additional cost ($450/room). Be aware that their ferry won’t run if the winds are high. We stayed inside at Grey, Paine Grande, and Cuernos. The Refugio’s all have bunk beds and the rooms are for 2-6 people. The 2-4 person cabins at Cuernos were wonderful. Only permanent tents were available this year at Chileno but worth staying there because the location sets you up for the hike to the towers. We left about 7:00 and hardly anyone else there because the dawn hikers were gone and the hikers from Central weren’t there yet. The amount of food provided exceeded our needs and of sufficient quality and sometimes the entrees were good. Chileno, which is supplied by horseback, put the most effort into presentation. We enjoyed the food at Cuernos and Chileno (served) more than Paine Grande and Grey (buffet). We did not like the lunch sandwiches because of the amount of bread to filling ratio and cream cheese (?) condiment. Vegetarian sandwiches (hummus or veggie patty) were slightly better. Next time, we would try to opt out of the lunches and bring snacks and scavenge from breakfast. We didn’t need to carry more than 1 L of water and did not treat any of the water. We had no gastrointestinal issues in our group from the food or water. Shower water ran out Paine Grande at 6:00. We had no issues with showers at the other Refugios. The agency was willing to customize our tour. However, the execution did not go smoothly. Our emailed itinerary and the app provided showed that all of our meals would be provided as we intended. Our first day, they forgot to give us a box lunch but they refunded this cost. We also learned that we hadn’t payed for dinner at Hotel Lago Grey, so we had to buy dinner. Breakfast was included with our hotel room but a boxed lunch was not. There was a problem with our reservation at Paine Grande but my Spanish was inadequate to understand what the problem was. We were provided meals and rooms but we were not placed together in the rooms and 1 couple was put in different rooms. At Chileno, they told us that we had made our meal reservations at Central (2 hr hike away) even though we were staying at Chileno. Fortunately, Chileno was able and willing to provide us meals. Chileno has limited stocks because this Refugio is supplied by horseback whereas the other Refugio’s can be restocked by boat.”

“We booked the W trail from the UK. They were quick to respond to emails and helpful. We had a meeting with them in their office the day before we set off when they answered our questions, briefed us on transport etc and gave us tickets. I would highly recommend using this company if you choosing an agent to book your trek.”

— Fiona W

“The W-Trek was phenomenal. Views were spectacular and could not recommend the tour enough. They were great at booking the refugios and camp-sites along with the bus tickets, catamarans and boxed lunches. I totally recommend them to anyone looking to book a tour in TDP. The camp-sites are really nice so don't worry if you don't get the refugio. It can even give you privacy you will not have in the refugio. For fit people, this tour could probably be done in 4 days. The last day was really light, especially if you don't do the activity at Grey. Either E-W or W-E would be good. Meeting people on the trek is also super common as you see the same people at the refugios and make some great connections. An unforgettable experience!”

— Will A

“Hiking the W Trek was such a brilliant bucket list trip for us. It was easy to coordinate and discuss to get exactly the trip we wanted.”

“ChileNativo was absolutely wonderful to work with and went above and beyond to help us out sometimes - even so far as to help us manage a last minute equipment rental when we forgot something and wouldn't be swinging through Puerto Natales. We booked an unguided W trek with a porter, a transfer, and the puma tracking. Where to begin? Our porter (Roberto!) spoke perfect english, and checked in with us in the morning and the evening at each stop to make sure we had our things, as well as double checking about anything that might be fragile. One day, we were very late getting back - because the sky had cleared so we hung out for awhile to take photos - and when we checked in they knew us by name because he had been looking for us. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd have jogged down the path if we were too much later. Even our drivers seemed extra nice. Clean good driving, and every once and awhile they stopped and pointed out wildlife (We saw a Rhea!) Our Puma tracker expert (Nico!) was also delightful all day. He saw a cat that was entirely invisible to me, pretty impressive. He also tracked down a photo that one of the other guides took because our cameras were middling. When we got close to our trip, ChileNativo gave us a whatsapp and got back to my questions near instantly, as late as 9:30 at night. I felt super supported the entire time and would gladly book a tour with them again.”

“I am so pleased with this company and how accommodating they were throughout our entire planning process. They were attentive and quick to respond to all my questions. Very organized, friendly, and prompt service! Everything was arranged perfectly and we did not have to worry about anything.”

— Kristin Bodin

“Trip of a lifetime! We wanted to do the Winter W Trek as the culmination of our Chilean belated honeymoon and it was without doubt the highlight of our three weeks in the country. We were so glad we booked with them as the whole thing was amazing. We loved spending time with them both and feel like we made great friends in just a few days. We want to go back! Robin & Roz - UK (trip done in August 2023)”

— Robin Brown

“We had a great experience doing the five-day W trek and our group's guide, Devi. My wife and I stayed in tents at the refugios along the trekking route, which worked well for us. All aspects of our trek went very well for our small hiking group of four plus our guide.”
