📍 Himalayas
🗓 March–May, September–November
2

Torres del Paine (W Trek & O Circuit)

Chile

The W Trek and the O Circuit are the world's finest multi-day hiking experiences: the granite towers of the Paine massif, the Grey Glacier, the condors overhead, the particular wildness of the Patagonian weather.

📍 Patagonia
🗓 November–March
3
