Ready to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in the untouched wilderness of Torres Del Paine National Park? ⛰️ The remote O-Trek is waiting!

It's 76 miles (122 km) of stunning, challenging backcountry hiking, looping around the Cordillera del Paine.

But remote doesn't mean roughing it the entire time! We're breaking down all the unique places you can stay on your O-Trek adventure, from rustic Refugios (Patagonia’s original hiking hostels) and the cozy Domos Frances to upscale lodges like the Remota Patagonia Lodge, complete with a sauna and infinity pool.

Hot showers, full board, incredible glacial views—find out where you'll be resting your head after a day on the trail.
