Get ready to experience Torres
del Paine to the maximum
Patagonia is vast, ever-changing, and powerful. What for some is a challenge will be a unique and worry-free experience with you. At Yellow Plum Hikes, we share our local expertise with you so you can explore with freedom, safety, and confidence from the very first step.
The weather in
Chilean Patagonia:
The unexpected
it's normal.
It's not about guessing the weather here, it's about being prepared for everything.
In one day you can experience all four seasons.
The wind can be very strong, especially in spring and summer.
Always check the forecast, but bring full gear.
Nutrition: Your energy is your freedom
Every bite fuels your exploration. Eating well means moving fast and enjoying life without limits.
Energy snacks such as nuts,
cereal and chocolate bars.
Practical and nutritious foods (freeze-dried or vacuum-packed).
Constant hydration: reusable bottle or hydration bladder.
If you camp, bring a lightweight stove and basic utensils.
Clothing: The luxury of being prepared
Your clothing is your protection. Dressing in layers is the key to adapting to any climate in minutes.
First thermal layer, second warm layer (fleece/softshell) and third waterproof layer.
Quick-drying technical clothing (avoid cotton).
Always carry an extra hat, gloves, and socks in your backpack.
Comfortable, well-gripped, and pre-worn trekking boots.
Backpack:
Less weight,
more freedom
What you carry on your back defines your experience. A well-organized backpack means comfort and peace of mind.
Only the essentials, lightweight and multifunctional items.
Distribute the weight: the heaviest weight in the center and near the back.
Use waterproof and compression bags for clothing and food.
Basic first aid kit, headlamp, portable charger and personal documents.
