Other Useful Information:
IMPORTANT: In 2016 the Torres del Paine National Park service has prohibited campers to cook their own food at the campsites in efforts to protect the cleanliness and preservation of the park environment. Therefore, we no longer offer options 'without meals'
The Refugios have the following referential meals schedules:
Breakfast: 07:30 - 09:30
Lunch: 12:00 - 15:00
Dinner: 19:30 - 21:30
Note: Guests must go to the office in Puerto Natales at 18:00 one day before the start of the program for a briefing. There, guests will receive kit/voucher and program information.
For environmental purposes, in some of the Refugios, the electricity is turned off during the night, between 23.00 PM and 07.00 AM. The use of certain electronic devices is not possible due to the fact that they may overcharge our systems (example: hairdryers). Please bring enough batteries.
Concerning connectivity: The National Park and the Lodges don't have cellphone or Internet connectivity due to its remote location. GPS devices work properly all over the Torres del Paine National Park.

The Torres del Paine parque is unbelievable! We had a good time. Although there are some things I like to be changed. We hiked for 4 days, better to do 5. Also Refugio Grey should have a night to actually get time to see everything. So instead of 4 nights we should have stayed 5 nights. Second the food in the Refugios for the amount of money you pay per person isn’t great. It is also not very healthy. Every day white bread, no variety in food and a lack of fruit and vegetables. Two refugios didn’t offer free towels, which again for the cost of the trip is absurd. Refugio grande didn’t even offer free coffee. In other words, for $1800.00 and only 4 days of hiking and 4 nights, the service didn’t add up. I know full well where we are but different options might have been a better way to offer the trip. If I had known everything before, I would have wanted 5 nights and included the Refugio Grey. The transportation was perfect arranged. And overall the people were nice and I specially want to mention Refugio Chileno! Amazing vibe, nice people and best service.
