Extra Tips for Trekkers in Torres del Paine
A few practical things to know about staying healthy on one of the world’s most demanding trekking routes.
WiFi at refugios
Most refugios (Paine Grande, Grey, Chileno, Las Torres) have WiFi, which is enough for a video consultation. Download the TravelDoctores booking page before entering the park as a backup.
Hypothermia risk is real
Patagonian wind can bring temperatures down suddenly — even in January. Always carry a waterproof layer and emergency thermal blanket. Contact us at the first signs: uncontrolled shivering, confusion, or slurred speech.
Treat blisters and wounds early
Infected blisters and cuts are a leading cause of early trek abandonment. Clean all wounds immediately, keep them covered, and consult us online if you see signs of infection — redness, swelling, or pus.
Hydrate despite the cold
Wind dries you out fast in Patagonia even when it’s cold. Dehydration is common and can cause fatigue and cramps that mimic more serious conditions. Drink consistently throughout the day.
Carry your passport
You will need it to collect prescription medication at pharmacies in Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas when you exit the park. No RUT required as a tourist.
Official health guidance
For official travel health information for Chile, visit the Ministerio de Salud de Chile or your country’s travel advisory page before your trip.
