- GO challenge yourself to a truly wild adventure
The Las Horquetas Circuit in the Cerro Castillo region of Chilean Patagonia is considered to be the wild alternative to the heavily traveled W- and O-Treks. Absent of huts and civilization, this backpacking tour offers an authentic Patagonian experience at a fraction of the price. The Cerro Castillo Backpacking tour is self-guided - we arrange the logistics for you (transportation and accommodation before and after the tour) and you do the tour independently with your own group and own dates. We provide navigation information via our navigation app and a personalized eGuidebook. This tour is for experienced backpackers only. While the daily statistics for the tour make it look easy, obstacles such as river crossings and some light route finding, add to the difficulty level of this tour. Patagonia is a harsh environment, and its distance from the equator should not be underestimated. Extremely high winds and rapidly changing weather conditions should be expected. We partner with local adventure experts in South America to provide you with this amazing adventure.

We have not yet experienced any restrictions for availability on this itinerary in this coming season. Of course, it is always possible that a hut is entirely booked out on a specific day due to a large class or alpine club event happening there that day. For this reason, we always recommend providing us with a few days of flexibility for your tour.
