Ready to venture into one of the planet’s most awe-inspiring wildernesses? The O Trek in Torres del Paine National Park offers an unforgettable journey through the rugged heart of Patagonia. This presentation will guide you through the essentials of this epic multi-day adventure—from daily mileage and packing tips to training strategies and what it’s really like to traverse remote glaciers, windswept valleys, and dramatic granite peaks. Discover the key differences between the popular “W” trek and the full “O” circuit, gain insights into Patagonia’s unpredictable weather, and learn why its remoteness adds to the magic. Whether you're planning your own trek or simply curious about this iconic destination, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of both the challenge and the reward of hiking in one of the most wild and beautiful places on Earth. Presented by Brooke, an experienced adventure traveler and trip host with Authentica Travel, specializing in high-altitude trekking and expedition preparedness.
