As in North America and Europe, trekking and walking are increasingly popular activities in Chile, and the number of treks and walking tours offered by outfitters is rapidly growing. In comparison to other South American destinations, trekking and walking in Chile is remarkably safe and worry-free. Most treks take place in wilderness or scarcely inhabited areas where locals, if any, are friendly and interested in news from abroad. There are no poisonous snakes, and if you manage to spot a puma, you should count yourself very lucky.
Tropical diseases are unknown here and water quality, especially in the south, is excellent.
Most trails are well maintained and reasonably well marked, though erosion from horses and other livestock is a problem. Lodging and the carrying of personal gear are especially important issues. Talk closely with your operator to be sure that your trip provides appropriate levels of comfort, activity, and challenge. Note that each of these offerings is linked to the travel company or operator of the trip directly. The first five days of this trip are identical with as those of 6 Days Hike Torres del Paine National Park trip, afterward you will cross over to Argentina and enjoy spectacular hikes and walks to the peaks of Fitzroy and the Cerro Torres as well as one of the largest glaciers in the world called Perito Moreno.
