Itinerary description
Torres del Paine is one of the most popular trek destinations in Chile and "W" is the most popular trek there. This is a description of this trek done in reverse order - starting from glacier Grey and finishing at the Torres. Doing it this way makes it slightly easier, allows you to witness the Torres during the sunrise and put a pressure on you on the last day to catch a ferry which goes only once a day.
Day 1, Glacier Grey: After getting to the park by bus from Puerto Natales catch a ferry across Lago Pehoe to Campamento Paine Grande (all the transportation is synchronized, so you don't have to worry about missing the ferry). There you can put up a tent, leave the heavy bag and take only a bottle a water with you for the day. The trail is pretty straightforward - it goes alongside Lago Grey all the way to the glacier Grey and back.
