About camping in Torres del Paine
Torres del Paine is Patagonian steppe meeting granite towers and milky glacial lakes in Chilean Patagonia. The W and O circuits use refugios and designated camps with strict booking; wind on the John Gardner Pass is notorious. Most trips combine a established campground or hut with day hikes, so reading elevation and exposure for your specific site matters as much as the town forecast.

Weekday shoulder dates at torres-del-paine-chile often beat peak weekends for weather windows and quieter sites when reservations open mid-week.
