Patagonia Torres Del Paine National Park Hiking Maps

This is a book 2 in my new series of "Hiking Maps" for wonderful unearthly beautiful Patagonia, for its most famous national park - Torres del Paine, of course, fully updated for 2023-24 seasons. The book contains detailed 17 hiking maps, technical details for each trail like distance (km and miles), hiking time, altitude elevation, gain and loss in altitude, visual altitude profiles, itinerary landmarks, camping sites, mountain huts, hostels, cabins, hotels, their prices, conditions and utilities. The book describes the major hiking trails in the park - "W" and "O" circuits, but also 4 additional less-known trails off the beaten routes and less crowded, which do not require preliminary reservations (unlike "W" and "O" circuits). I also give information how to hike safely in Patagonia, art and skills in surviving harsh Patagonian conditions, especially in the Andes region, as a hiker.

This detailed, full color Topographic Atlas represents the full area of the famous Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia. Access to trails, availability of camping areas and special requirements such as obligatory walking direction on some sections, all have been updated for this edition according to the official regulations for the 2019/2020 hiking season. The atlas maps show the full area of the park with access roads and adjacent areas, with alternative paths, camp sites (color-coded according to the managing company), location of bus stops & park rangers' posts, all in large scale detail. Terrain relief elevation contours are drawn every 20 meters.The map scale of 1:50000 (1 cm = 500 meters) provides a wealth of detail while keeping low the weight of the atlas itself. The large page format of 8.5x11in minimizes page count and along with the overlapping map design allows for comfortable navigation. The details included in the topographic maps of this Atlas were specifically selected to be useful for trekkers, hikers and walkers of all interests, and make it easy to plan and enjoy both short excursions and hikes as well as long multi-day adventures along the main marked routes and/or adjacent trails and paths, which are also shown on the maps. Fold this ultralight atlas in half, stuff it in the side pocket of your backpack, and you will always have a detailed, reliable, information-rich, battery-independent, shatter-proof map for your adventure. Mercator projection SAD69 with both UTM and WGS84 coordinate grids.

This is my first travel guide in the new series "Visual Hiking Guide" for wonderful Patagonia, of course, fully updated for 2021/22 seasons. I decided to create this new series to help skilled hikers and ordinary travelers to trek through complex terrain of Torres del Paine National Park (TdPNP) with confidence, safety, and knowledge of the place by using graphical content: infographics, detailed topo maps, schemes, drawings, and pictures with some flavor as text. Such presentation of the data will ease the use of the travel guide in field, will make it more versatile and practical for any age, level of English or background knowledge. The guide contains: all prices, new park rules, timetables, bookings, how to get in by buses, planes, and catamarans, where to stay and eat and how much it will cost, all conditions for accommodation, plus, - detailed description of 11 major hikes in the "W" and "O" circuits, as well as 4 additional less-known, secret hiking trails in the park. The guide also provides 100+ precise GPS coordinates for all sightseeing, viewpoints, trailheads and trail splits, footbridges, walking boards, suspension bridges, Campings, Refugios and Hotels, shops and restaurants. 17 hiking maps depict topography of the terrain, major and sidewalk trails, river and canyon crossing, glaciers and lakes, sightseeing. In addition, there is info for each hike regarding hiking distance, complexity, altitude with elevation profiles.

This is a "budget" version of the travel guide (reduced production costs), instead of fully colorful pages inside (standard version), it has black and white (b/w) interior, - the colors are nice to have, but not essential and can be sacrificed to minimize printing costs, yet, the book delivers all necessary information as the standard version.

This book is the 2nd edition of my travel guide about wonderful Torres del Paine National Park. I updated: 1) all factual information, prices and conditions for current season 2020-2021; 2) added miles/foot data to all measures in metric system as km/m; 3) added 1x big general map, and 6x hiking maps for each trail, so that now the guide contains 8x maps in total. This is a unique and the most complete "smart" travel guide, which I made, at first, to be solely used in my own, after buying so many travel guides and still feeling - they aren't good enough for my adventures to explore wilderness as a biologist and wildlife/travel photographer. I was missing it during my trip to Patagonia in 2017, otherwise, I would be much more efficient as a wildlife photographer and traveler. I hope the book will be a good "practical tool", an all-to-know set of guide books for you (for me as well), while you are exploring the world with responsible mind and open heart as a truly nature lover. The book contains 100+ GPS coordinates of important to know places, 50x website links, covering all the important campsites, hotels, viewpoints, trails, key sightseeing, it has 8x detailed trekking maps, and 15x photographs I made in March-April 2017. The book first describes how to get in/out the park, all park's updated rules and prices, then how to design your trekking route and how to book all accommodation in the park and nearby. In addition to popular "W" and "O" trekking circuits in the park, I give information about another 6 less-known, secret "off-the-bitten-pass" trails with hiking maps for each. I also give all the details for wild and paid camping, hotels, hostels, domes, cabins, food stores, roads conditions, travel scenarios, public buses, prices for touristic services, paid tours, wildlife safaris, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding. At the end of the guide, I give detailed information what kind of wild animals and where you can meet in the park (puma, condors, huemul, guanaco, fox) and their behavior. I also describe where you can find fossils from Jurassic Era of ichthyosaur, of a large prehistoric marine dolphin-like predator, or to see ancient cave paintings of indigenous tribes lived here 3000-8000 years ago. The book can be equally useful for "budget" adventure seekers, solo/group travelers, "fast & easy" with a rented car/campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife and travel photographers on a mission. Printed versions of the book just went far beyond of my anticipation; quality is highest standard possible, they are rather small (15x23 cm), light-weight (only 150 g each), fully colorful inside with maps and GPS coordinates, pages are robustly made and glued, the cover is made of water-repellent paper, books are flexible, you can bend them, nothing will happen... though, they are ideal to put them into your backpack and use them while you travel through wonderful Patagonia... Enjoy and take care!

Guidebook to trekking in the heart of Patagonia, with routes in Torres del Paine National Park (Chile) and Los Glaciares National Park (Argentina). While the region is primarily a remote and mountainous glaciated wilderness, walking is easily accessible with clear trails, good public transport and regular mountain huts and campsites. The centrepiece of this dramatic area is the 10-11 day Torres del Paine Circuit (also known as the 'O' Circuit), while the shorter Half Circuit (the 'W') visits much of the same sights in 4-5 days. The guidebook also includes four shorter day walks, a multi-day trek in Argentina's Los Glaciares national park, and several excursions from Puerto Natales and El Calafate. This guidebook includes advice on getting to and around the regions, languages, visa, currency, accommodation and facilities in the National Parks, as well as useful guidance on what to take and expect on the treks. Also featured is background information on the geology, history, wildlife, flora and cultures of the regions, resulting in an excellent companion guide to help you explore the region.
