If you are planning to hike in the most remote region of South America, wonderful unearthly beautiful Patagonia, in its most famous national park Torres del Paine, - this travel guide with hiking maps is made for you! It is fully updated for 2024-25 season. The book contains 15 detailed hiking topo maps, technical details for each trail (20 trails) like distance (km and miles), hiking time, altitude elevation, gain and loss in altitude, visual altitude profiles, itinerary landmarks, camping sites, mountain huts, hostels, cabins, hotels, their prices, conditions and utilities. The book describes 11 major hiking trails in the park - "W" and "O" trek and circuit, but also 9 additional less-known trails off the beaten tracks and less crowded, which do not require preliminary reservations (unlike "W" and "O" treks). The second part of this travel guide is all about practical information for hikers, namely: park’s entrance fees, booking and prices for accommodation in the park, simple and handy maps with hiking distances, timetables for catamarans in Pehoé and Grey lagoons, info how to get to the park from Puerto Natales, El Calafate, Ushuaia, Punta Arenas by bus, and by plane from Argentinean and Chilean capitals. I also give information how to hike safely in Patagonia, art and skills in surviving harsh Patagonian conditions, especially in the Andes region, as a hiker. The book can be equally useful for "budget" adventure seekers, solo, group travelers, in "fast & easy" style with a rented car, campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife, travel or landscape photographers on a mission, digital nomads. I hope the book will be a good “practical tool”, while you are exploring the world with responsible mind and open heart as a truly nature lover.
