Pushed To Our Limits - An 80km Adventure Across The Patagonia Wilderness
Join us on an epic multi-day trekking adventure through Chile’s legendary Torres del Paine National Park, deep in the heart of Patagonia. This isn’t our usual sailing journey - this time, we trade the ocean for mountains as we take on one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world.
In our travel vlog, we trek almost 80km across the rugged Patagonian wilderness, facing freezing temperatures, brutal climbs, and ever-changing terrain. From the iconic Base Torres viewpoint, Cerro Paine Grande and Mirador Británicoto, to the unreal blue waters of Lake Nordenskjöld, every step brings jaw-dropping landscapes that look and feel unreal.
This was one of the toughest but most rewarding adventures we’ve ever taken on, covering up to 26km a day on foot with 1000s of meters of elevation change. Patagonia pushed us to our limits, but it is the best thing we've ever done!
What to expect in our biggest adventure yet:
- Hiking the famous Torres del Paine W Trek (East to West)
- Camping in the wild at Central, Frances & Pine Grande
- Reaching Mirador Británico – a 360° panoramic viewpoint
- Glacier lakes, suspension bridges & snow-covered peaks
- Wildlife encounters & unexpected moments along the way
- The reality of trekking in sub-zero conditions
