Camping in Torres del Paine in May
Is it possible to do the W-trek in Torres del Paine from April 30 to May 4 (Camping. No refugio)?
If the campsites are closed during that time, does this mean Camping is not possible at all or are there other options (e.g camp outside the official sites?)
Best Answer
Looked in the Chilean Ministry of Tourism site and they have a touristic services search where you can search for campings in specific regions os cities. Searching for Torres del Paine and camping gave me 4 results. Have you checked those camping sites?
There is a site only about Torres del Paine including a travel experience that might be of interest even though she used the refugios. I could not find any reason as to why would it not be possible to do the w-circuit in the date you mentioned.
