Patagonia National Park

[John “Jay” Menna]

I booked tickets to go to Torres Del Paine and hike the “O Circuit” but it is a real cluster f*** when it comes to nailing down reservations for camps sites.

Now, with 10 days between my arrival and departure in Santiago Im looking into alternate trips.   Alan Dixon has a bit of a writeup on the new Patagonia National Park.  But I cant find much more.

(Most importantly  HTH do you get there??)

Any suggestions?

Go to Argentina and backpack in the Fitzroy region. It’s fairly easy to get there and the scenery is incredible. Best of all it is quite a bit more affordable. We backpacked Torres Del Paine in 2013 and were going to do it again in 2017 but because of the cluster f—- we just went to Argentina instead for our hiking.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Alan has decent info on his site, but I think it just came out in August so this is the first “hiking season” for that route.  I hope to do it next February so if you go please report back.</p>
