A great trek

43625

The W trek was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Patagonia. The hikes can be long but they're not very difficult if you're in average shape. Definitely worth adding to your itinerary.

United States

Tough but well worth it

43764

I definetly reccommend training a few months in advance for the demand of the trail. You will find the trip most enjoyable if you are in the bestpossible shape, as a lot of the time you will be hiking on your own. It's fantactic! and worry free. I would book withbamba for sure.

Austrailia

Amazing place!
