About Puerto Natales for Solo Travelers
The last town before Patagonia's most famous wilderness — solo trekkers gather here, plan their W or O Circuit routes, and disappear into Torres del Paine's granite towers and glacial lakes.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Puerto Natales is the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park — everything here revolves around the trek. Solo hikers are the norm on the W Trek and O Circuit; the refugios (mountain huts) are social overnight stops where trekkers from every country share meals. Book refugios well ahead for peak season (December-February). The town itself is a brief stop; get into the park as soon as you can.
