Pack for Patagonia people! We are headed off for an epic trek through Torres del Paine. This trip will be a celebration of our body’s ability to experience the world through hiking, eating new foods, building community, and our connection to nature.
This is your chance to complete one of the most captivating treks in the world - the visually stunning W Trek - which highlights the best of Torres del Paine including the Grey Glacier, French Valley, and the Tower base.
Each day will be filled with jaw-dropping wonder, delicious food, workshops, and a chance to stay at EcoCamp Patagonia!
If you’ve been dreaming of traveling to Patagonia this is your chance to join a group of bold and like-minded women-identifying and non-binary individuals for the adventure of a lifetime.
More than a trip
This is more than a trekking trip. Throughout the 7 days together you will engage in workshops that are designed to support you in letting go of the negative beliefs about your body that have held you back in your daily life. You will walk away from this experience with new perspectives and feel more connected to the wild, bold, confident, and purpose-driven parts of yourself.
This trip is size inclusive, and you can trust that we don’t tolerate body comments, place moral value on food, or connect over diet talk or comparison. Physical and emotional safety is the most important aspect of our time together.
This trip is made possible through Root Adventures, a women owned and operated adventure travel company. When we focus on community and collaboration, rather than competition, great things can happen.

Trip Itinerary
-
Day 1
We’ll start with a morning pick-up from your hotel or the airport in Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales and drive to EcoCamp Patagonia, located in the world-famous Torres del Paine National Park.
On the way to EcoCamp, we’ll make a stop in Puerto Natales, a small, lively town on the shores of Last Hope Sound (Ultima Esperanza) where we can enjoy a hearty lunch of local food. This scenic journey ends with our arrival at EcoCamp Patagonia, nestled in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park with a prime view of the majestic Paine Towers.
-
Day 2
We’ll emerge into our Patagonian adventure with a pleasant warm-up walk along the Cuernos Trail, where we will have the opportunity to take in the majesty of the park with all of our senses.
On this day we will assess our group pacing and get prepped for the longer days ahead. Our evening will be spent learning more about each other through various activities, building connections, and taking in the wonders around us.
-
Day 3
Get your boots and your bod ready for today’s challenging, yet rewarding, trek.
Our hike will lead us to the French River’s hanging bridge, located at the foot of the southeastern face of the Massif. We will then continue to ascend toward the upper section of the valley to marvel at the extensive mass of the valley's geological formations.
-
Day 4
Today we will hike from the Paine Grande Refugio along the shores of Lake Pehoe to the northern side of Lake Grey.
We will feast on a picnic lunch before boarding the boat that sails to the huge, crystalline facade of Glacier Grey. From the southern end of Glacier Grey.
Afterward, we will return on foot to Paine Grande and take a catamaran to the dock, where we will be picked up and driven to EcoCamp. Here we will dine, and connect before getting rest for our big trek the next day.
-
Day 5
Today is the day -- the walk to the base of the famous Paine Towers.
We will ascend up the Ascencio Valley on the Tower’s eastern face. Mountain ridges, beech forests, and small rivers line the scenic walk towards the valley as we approach our biggest challenge yet – the steep moraine – a huge mass of boulders that lead to the iconic base of the Towers, the three gigantic granite monoliths that are the remains of a great cirque sheared away by glacial ice.
After a tough uphill climb, the Towers eventually come into full view, rising majestically before us held by the glacial lake below. Here we will celebrate with lunch, and kick up our feet as we take in the views.
Afterward, we’ll backtrack along the same trail through Ascencio Valley and return to EcoCamp for a well-deserved dinner, delicious Chilean wine, and an evening of celebration and gratitude.

Day 6
After a full week of hiking, we will take the day to reflect on our experience, practice some major self-care, and engage in workshops to complete our time together.
You will be given the opportunity to redefine wellness in your own terms and get clear on your own values and purpose. You will walk away with new tools and learnings to help you feel more empowered and connected to your body.
-
Day 7
On our final farewell day together, we will board an early morning vehicle where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic ride back to Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas in time to catch your evening flight onwards.
