PATAGONIA ADVENTURE
TORRES DEL PAINE NATIONAL PARK
OCTOBER 11th - 19th, 2025
Come join Trail Run Adventures for an amazing experience in the Torres Del Paine National Park, in Patagonia, Chile. We will visit some of the most stunning places on earth, with amazing peaks, fjords, glaciers, lakes and more. You may even get lucky and see a Condor or a Puma!
This trip is a perfect mix of trail running and hiking/fastpacking. We will spend the first part of the trip running amazing trails and the second part hiking the stunning W circuit. You will also have the chance to ice hike or kayak around the glaciers and finish with a puma safari.
WHO CAN JOIN:
This trip is for anyone that can run 10-15km a day on trails and also be able to hike 20-30km per day with a 25-30 liter pack on. We have also chosen October dates for this trip to avoid crowds, but you will need to be ok with the chance of colder temps and some rain. Spring is a great time in Patagonia and much less crowds, which is a great experience as long as you come prepared. You will have a detailed gear list sent to you to make sure of this. You will also need to be comfortable sharing a room with up to 6 others at the lodge and one other guest at hotels (bring your ear plugs!).
