Chile and Patagonia Trip Summary

I took a trip in March of 2025 to Chile and Patagonia to enjoy some South American magic with friends.

On the way out I arrived in Santiago, 16 hours late, but made the most of it with some Santiago fun. From there we flew to Puerto Natales to stage ourselves for our O-circuit backpacking trek in Torres del Paine National Park.

Here’s the rundown of the backpacking trip:

• O Circuit - Start to Serón
• Serón to Dickson
• About the Refugios at Torres del Paine
• Dickson to Los Perros
• Los Perros to Grey via Gardner Pass
• Grey to Paine Grande
• Paine Grande to Los Cuernos
• Los Cuernos to Chileno
• Chileno to Torres to the End

I experienced some more Santiago on my return journey. After the trip I made a log of the animals and plants I encountered in Chile.
