Wanting to visit Chilean Patagonia, but not sure where to start with packing for your trip? Well, I’ve explored Torres Del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia twice! First, packing for the “W Circuit” back in 2015 and then returning to Chile for a second time to prepare for, pack and hike the “O Circuit” solo in 2022!

Join me in today's video where I share my experience and insights regarding preparing your pack in the town of Puerto Natales, Chile. It was here in Puerto Natales that I would arrive a few days early and search for the best places to rent my gear as well as grab some food and any other last minute items for the upcoming hiking adventure!

**NOTE: There are a ton of options of places to rent hiking gear from in Puerto Natales, Chile of varying price and quality so I hope that this video can help you save some time narrowing down your options and making preparing for your adventure more enjoyable!
**Enjoy the video and please comment with any questions you might have! 💻
