Torres Del Paine Trek

The Full Paine Circuit

RMI's Torres del Paine trek is a 14-day Patagonian circuit — the 80-mile O loop around the Paine Massif that takes in everything the shorter W trek misses: remote north-side valleys, Grey Glacier's calving wall, and the three granite towers that give the park its name. Mixed lodging in tents and refugios, blustery Patagonian weather, and one of South America's great hiking landscapes. This collection brings together the gear RMI guides recommend for handling a long trek in some of the most variable weather on the planet.

Climb Torres Del Paine Trek with RMI

RMI's Torres del Paine trek is 14 days circumnavigating the Paine Massif on the full O Circuit — about 80 miles, with overnight stays mixed between tents and refugios like Dickson, Grey, and Paine Grande. You'll cross grassland, beech forest, hanging valleys, and the John Garner Pass overlooking Grey Glacier, and you'll feel Patagonian wind and rain in roughly equal measure to the dry summer sun. No technical climbing — just steady miles, real weather, and a UNESCO biosphere of guanacos, pumas, and penguins.

Gear Without the Commitment

Rent Instead of Buy

Patagonia's a trip you only do once or twice in a lifetime — buying a Patagonia-specific kit rarely makes sense. Our Ashford shop rents the items most worth not owning: heavy-duty hardshells, warm sleeping bags, sturdy trekking packs, and trekking poles. RMI trekkers receive a 10% discount on new purchases if you decide to invest in pieces you'll keep using.

RMI Gear List

This collection mirrors RMI's official Torres del Paine equipment list. Every item is chosen for an 80-mile circuit in weather that turns four times a day — a hardshell that actually keeps water out, hiking boots broken in for long mileage, a layering kit that handles bright sun and wet wind, and a pack sized for 14 days without weighing down the daily push from camp to camp.
