Las Torres Patagonia launches the W Circuit Journey

The new program is a new way to experience Torres del Paine’s most popular hike. It includes a host who accompanies the group along the entire route, as well as a number of special experiences inspired by Patagonia and designed to help travelers deepen their connection with the region.

Torres del Paine, May 26, 2026. – Las Torres Patagonia has launched the W Circuit Journey, a five-day guided program that expands its range of activities in Torres del Paine National Park. This is one of the company’s major new offerings for the 2026–2027 season, as it is the first guided option on the W Circuit, which is the park’s most popular hiking route.

The program, which debuts in October 2026, offers small groups of up to twelve people a host to accompany them along the circuit. In addition to the hike, the program includes moments of rest, connection, and group activities. These include an Explorer’s Ritual at the start of the program, celebrations at each milestone, and an After Trek at the end of each day.

A new way to experience the W Circuit

The Journey circuit covers the classic sights of the W—Base Torres, Francés Valley, Británico Viewpoint, and the first viewpoint of the Grey Glacier—but with a new twist. The host isn’t there to be a traditional tour guide, but rather to coordinate the group, manage the schedule, and create shared experiences over the course of five days.

Of the four options already offered by Las Torres Patagonia on the W and O Circuits, the Journey stands out for its focus on culture. The Explorer’s Ritual kicks off the program on the first day and sets the tone for the rest of the experience. Upon reaching each milestone—Base Torres, Francés, Británico, and the first Grey Glacier viewpoint—there are shared moments and team-building exercises. In addition, each day concludes with an After Trek activity.

“The Journey program isn’t just a W Circuit with extra amenities. It is an experience led by a host who, more than just taking the group from A to B, spends time with them throughout the entire trip. It’s a mix of nature, wellness, and deep connection with the environment as you make your way along the trail,” explains Juan López, Sales and Marketing Director at Las Torres Patagonia.

“We’re aiming to bring back to the W a sense of place that’s often lost when you rush through it: a connection to the land, the culture, and within the group,” he adds.
