Booking Campsites and Refuges in Torres del Paine

Yes, it’s highly recommended to book campsites and refuges in advance, especially during the high season (October–April). Torres del Paine is a very popular destination, and spots can fill up quickly. Making a reservation in advance ensures you have a guaranteed place to stay.

For both the W Trek and the O Circuit, bookings are mandatory for all campsites and refuges. If you’re traveling during the peak season, it’s best to book several months in advance to avoid missing out on accommodation options.

What About the Low Season?

During the off-season (May–September), there are fewer visitors, and you might have a bit more flexibility with your plans. However, it’s still a good idea to book in advance—especially if you’re hoping to stay in a specific campsite or refuge.

Even with fewer tourists, some services may be limited in the off-season, and planning ahead helps ensure a smoother experience.
