Things got off to a bad start for this trip. First of all we knew nothing about the place until after the 3 day trek, which led to a lot of Miagi´s ´Spur of the Moment "PLANS"´

Only one hostel in the village and we were the only people there so we should have really copped that something was up. We headed off on what was meant to be a 2-3 hour drive to get into the park for free before 6.30am. This was not to be as the border crossing at Rio Turbio is seasonal and closed on a Sunday. We crossed the border into Puerto Natales (where we should have stayed as its in Chile so the border crossing would have been out of the way and gives talks about trekking Torres Del Paine every hour or so). We eventually arrived in TDP at 10am and managed to get trekking at 1pm.
The W trek is a 4-5 day trek which we managed to complete in 3 days, not bad since its around 75K
