Travel on foot (hiking) · Chile

Hi there,

I’m thinking of doing the O Circuit or the full W in Torres del Paine—I already did the W about ten years ago.

I’ve got a few questions:

- Do I really need to book everything well in advance? - What’s the budget for overnight stays if I’ll have a tent and be on my own? - What temperature rating should my sleeping bag have for comfort? - Do I need any special gear for the hike? I’ve got low-cut shoes.

And finally, is there a place where I can leave my bike during the hike?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, After a few treks in Nepal, I'm thinking about doing one in Patagonia. But when I see the prices, it’s a bit off-putting!!!! I was used to going with local agencies at really good rates and the same conditions as tour operators. Are there any agencies like that in Argentina or Chile? Thierry
