Paso Oggioni

Torres del Paine full circuit trek - the big climb up and over

Torres del Paine Paso Extreme - 7 days, 6 nights
3900USD pp minimun 2pax  -  max 6 trekkers 
Level of difficuly: Demanding


Summary:

Paso Oggioni is not the typical trek and certainly is not for beginners. The trek leads us 'off trail' up and over steep slopes, showing us views of Torres del Paine National Park that few people get to see. Instead of trekking up and back down Valley Silencio we will hike through thick forest, crossing wild creeks and up steep rocky slopes to gain the rarely seen Oggioni Pass.

We use the tents from the campsites so when we arrive everything is ready waiting for us,samething with food.

This is Version of expedition where we dont carrie camping equiptment and food, so we travel ligth, making more enjoible the days,specially for this trip where the distances are long.

Difficulty:

You should be in very good condition for this program, it is both a physically and mentally demanding trek. We recommend that you be able to hike long distances, uphill and down, up to 10 hours a day . We typically cover elevations from 200m to 1200m per day. You should also have keen mental strength and a sense of determination to resist tough elements such as strong winds and frozen rain or snowfall - even in the summer. You should be well accustomed to sleeping in a two-person tent . The weather in Patagonia is as unpredictable as the landscape and dealing with different levels of discomfort is one of the biggest challenges of Patagonian trekking.
