To visit the Torres del Paine National Park in person is an experience that is sure to captivate anyone who visits Chile and Patagonia. For some, the excursions within this beautiful place serve as a personal challenge which involves physical and motivational preparation. Regardless of your motive for visiting, it’s important to take your clothing and gear into proper consideration before embarking on your journey, since the Patagonia weather is unpredictable.

For example, we’ll tell you why having a good pair of trekking shoes is absolutely essential, and how the layering method works to maintain our body temperature during a long hike, among other useful tips.
