4 tips if you want to visit Torres del Paine
1. Plan your trip: pay close attention to the season and the weather.
Much of the magic of Torres del Paine is born thanks to the particular climatic conditions that have forged its nature. And it is these same conditions that allow you to enjoy different experiences depending on the season in which you visit.
During the southern hemisphere spring (October to December) or autumn (March to June), it is possible to enjoy a much milder climate. In addition, you have the chance to marvel at the colors of the season.
Chile is characterized by very marked seasons, so if you travel in spring you will see the rebirth of the forests after a cold winter. On the other hand, if you venture in autumn, you will be able to contemplate how the landscape is tinged with a golden color that takes your breath away at each southern sunset.
On the other hand, if you travel in winter (June to September) or summer (December to March), you can take advantage of the perfect conditions for adventure tourism of the season.
Whatever your choice, prepare your suitcase with everything you need to face an extremely variable climate. It is recommended to prioritize layered clothing, with good thermal insulation and breathability.
Also, think about everything you need to face the season in the best way: anti-allergic products if you need them for spring, sun block SPF 50 for summer, warm fabrics for autumn, among many others.
Finally, also consider the weather to choose the right accommodation. For example, our Yurts have a central heating system, as well as being designed to suit the climate, maximizing the use of energy and taking advantage of sunlight.
2. Choose routes and adventures adapted to your experience.
Torres del Paine has world-renowned hiking trails that offer a unique experience among panoramic views of majestic mountains and lakes.
Due to this same landscape, routes are offered for all experience levels and physical condition. We recommend that you always consult in advance about the trail you want to do and evaluate its complexity.
A good option is always to rely on local knowledge. To maximize the enjoyment of your adventure and minimize any risks that may spoil the trip, you can join our organized excursions that include expert local guides.
At Patagonia Camp Hotel we have a large excursion catalog that we invite you to discover. Also, all of our programs include these types of activities as part of your stay, check them out!
This brings us to our next tip.
3. Choose quality lodging
How many times will you visit Patagonia again? This is a key question, because we are sure that after getting to know it you will want to come back, but we know that it is difficult to organize. That’s why we recommend you choose an accommodation that will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the Torres del Paine experience: live your adventure as if you were never coming back!
Beyond the basics that we mentioned earlier, about choosing a place with the right conditions so that the weather is not a problem, a great tip is to choose places that reflect the authenticity of the place.
Don’t let your adventure end because it’s time to go to sleep, and let the wild magic of the extreme south be with you to relax and recharge your batteries after a long day of adventures.
At Patagonia Camp Hotel we are committed to create a sincere connection between people and nature, that’s why we have facilities that complement the landscape, and thanks to a unique design, will allow you to enjoy the birds singing and the starry sky without sacrificing comfort.

4. Visit Torres del Paine caring for your impact on nature
All the wonders of Patagonia are unfortunately threatened by the climate crisis and the impact of human beings. For this reason, either from the desire to preserve such a magical place, or as gratitude for leaving an indelible mark on those who know it, thousands of travelers and local people are organized and promote low-impact tourism.
