 Trekking in Patagonia requires that you bring comfortable and adequate clothing to protect you from cold (and possibly wet) weather. We recommend that you layer with synthetic clothing (such as polypropylene, Capilene, or pile). Synthetic fabrics are the most effective barriers against the cold. They provide the best insulation, they are light in weight, wick away perspiration, and dry quickly if wet. Wool and wool/synthetic blends are also suitable. We discourage the use of cotton garments in cold or wet mountain conditions.

When layering, the innermost layer should be long underwear. The middle layer can be a synthetic turtleneck or wool shirt, and pant s. The outermost layer should be a synthetic or down jacket, and/or a good quality Gore-Tex wind/rain parka and over-pants.

We have not included quantities for each item listed. Use your own judgment, based on the expected weather conditions, the length of your trip and overall packing/weight restrictions for your luggage.

Luggage, Clothing & Travel Accessories

Try to go as light as possible and take only the essentials. Excess baggage can be a burden to you and to our support personnel. Keep in mind that there are limits on how much your duffel bag can weigh because of weight restrictions on both international and domestic flights (usually 30 kg/60 lbs.). While you are camping, your city clothes can be safely stored in a separate duffel bag at our office in Puerto Natales or at the

Camp
Located in the heart of Torres del Paine, the camp consists of tented igloo-type domes built to minimize the environmental impact while providing a comfortable setting and maximum exposure to nature.
There are three Core Domes all connected with the dormitory domes by raised wooden walkways.There is electricity available for charging just camera batteries (voltage: 220 Volts at 50 Hertz, two round pins plug).

Dining takes place at two connected Giant Domes, each 9 meter / 30 feet  in diameter and 4.5 m / 14.8 ft tall. The space inside is bright ans airy with large windows offering a panoramic view of the Paine granite towers. Each of the Core Domes has a low-emission wood stove. There is a bar, three different resting areas and a small shop.

A separate resting room of 6 m/ 19.5 ft in diameter contains a small library where guests can sit, chat, read and relax. This dome is the meeting place for organized groups where the guides can show guests the different trekking routes and wildlife watching spots.

The Core Domes are surrounded by ample terraces to sit, read, smoke, talk and even enjoy a cocktail outdoors.
Following the platforms there is an "asado" where every Saturday evening the Baqueanos (locak Patagonian cowboys) prepare a genuine lam barbecue.

We proudly prepare and serve exquisite and genuine cuisine, including options for vegetarians and those with other dietary restrictions, prepared by three chefs that have been born and raised in Patagonia.
