Introduction to make Torres del Paine National Park<\/strong> Tours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The day before starting the trek, we attended the briefing, an information session where we received our welcome kit and learned everything we needed to safely enjoy the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This briefing is usually held in person the afternoon before the hike begins, although there is also the option to attend it online a few days before the O Circuit Patagonia starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our backpacks ready and all the information in hand, we headed to the Puerto Natales bus station. At 6:45 a.m., we were already there, ready to start the adventure. The bus departs at 7:00 a.m. toward Torres del Paine National Park, specifically to Laguna Amarga Entrance, one of the park\u2019s main access points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once there, we showed our park ticket to the CONAF rangers and boarded a connecting shuttle to the Welcome Center. From there, day 1 of the O Circuit begins, hiking from Central Lodge to Ser\u00f3n Campsite. Let the trek begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
