The W Trek Active is designed for trekkers who want a genuine challenge — with two camping nights in the park mixed in with lodge and hotel stays. It covers all three core highlights of the W route (Paine Towers, French Valley, and Grey Glacier) in 4 hiking days at a faster pace, with a more immersive, off-grid feel.
On camping nights, tents are pre-erected and waiting for you at the designated camping stations — you don't carry tent poles or set anything up. You will carry your own sleeping bag and mat (both provided by ChileTour) from Day 2 onwards. All breakfasts, boxed lunches, and dinners remain included throughout. This program suits trekkers with good fitness and some hiking experience who want the full W without the price tag of an all-lodge program.
Accommodation across the 5 nights: two nights in Garden Domes Puerto Natales, one night in Torre Central Lodge or Laguna Amarga Cabins, and two nights camping in the park.

Just completed the W trek and had a fabulous time. We're a 61/62 fit couple and did the 'active' version — 3 nights and 4 days trekking. Good organization and communication, very good food. I would highly recommend this company; Ritchie the owner is hands on and very friendly.
Ricci and his team were amazing and made us feel like special guests. It was well organised, rooms at Garden Domes were comfortable, sooo much delicious food and incredibly kind and generous. Highly recommend.
