The O Trek is the ultimate Torres del Paine experience—a full circuit around the Paine Massif that takes you through the park’s most iconic scenery and its most remote corners. Over 8 days, this budget itinerary will take you through dramatic valleys, dense forests, and across high mountain passes, with highlights like the breathtaking John Gardner Pass, Glacier Grey, and the famous Base Torres viewpoint. This route includes everything the W Trek offers, plus the quieter and more rugged backside of the park, where you’ll find fewer crowds and a deeper connection to nature. It’s a challenging, rewarding adventure for hikers who want the complete Torres del Paine journey.

For those on a budget, the O Trek can be completed using self-pitched campsites wherever possible (can book up quickly), keeping costs low while still offering an unforgettable experience. You’ll carry and set up your own tent at designated sites along the route, most of which include basic facilities like toilets, cold or hot showers, and cooking shelters. This itinerary follows a self-catered approach, meaning you'll bring and prepare your own food using the camp kitchens—giving you full control over meals and helping you avoid the high costs of pre-packaged meals or full-board stays. It’s the ideal setup for hikers looking for a more affordable and hands-on adventure.
