Once in a lifetime trip! Looks like you had your fill of all forms of wind by the end of it!

Never ending wind, for sure! There were moments we thought our tent would fly away 🙃 but definitely a trip of a lifetime!

Amazing!! I'm also planning on doing the same trek this November. It looks like not that many people on the trail when you were there? Also for the sunrise las torres, what time did you have to get up?

You’re going to have a great time! The trails weren’t too crowded at all since we were early in the season. We mostly ran into other people at the campsites or lookout points. The hike from Chileno to Las Torres is a solid two hour trek uphill. We left a little after 3am to make it just in time for sunrise by 5:30am. It was also freezing once we got there, so make sure you have layers to add on!

thanks for sharing. just wondering how much physical prep work one needs to be to hike the w-trek?

Great question! There are a ton of different ways you can approach this hike, so you'd be able to tailor it to your fitness level. We brought/carried all of our gear & food, so we were weighed down by our packs - this would be the more challenging approach (especially with some of the elevation gain). But you have the option of renting tents & sleeping bags along the way and/or purchasing meals at the camps, so you could essentially do this entire hike with just a day pack (making it much easier). Mostly, be sure you're able to walk really long distances consistently, are comfortable with some elevation gain, and throw in some strength workouts to ready your core & legs. The best way to train for backpacking is literally hitting a hiking trail, if you have that option!

I'm grateful I was able to visit this year without much issue with the bookings. Have you been back since your visit 35 years ago? Would be interesting to see what has changed over the years!
