Guide Backpacking the Dientes de Navarino Trek

This comprehensive guide takes you to the edge of the world - on a 5–7 day wilderness circuit through the jagged peaks, alpine lakes, and remote valleys of Navarino Island, Chile. With up to 70km (43mi) of unmarked trails, the Dientes de Navarino is one of the most remote and rewarding hikes on the planet. Whether you’re aiming for the main loop or the optional Lago Windhond extension, this guide includes everything you need for a safe, unforgettable journey.

Includes:

• A flexible 5–7 day itinerary (main circuit + Windhond extension)
• Distance, elevation, difficulty (SAC scale), and estimated hiking times
• Wild camping options, terrain notes, and route-finding tips for each stage
• Downloadable GPX files for the full route and bonus trek in Ushuaia
• Custom Google Maps with trailheads, campsites, water sources, and transport points
• Navigation advice for bogs, forest, scree slopes, and unmarked alpine passes
• Detailed breakdown of all seven stages, including high passes like Paso Virginia (848m / 2782ft)
• Info on getting there by plane or boat from Chile and Argentina
• Gear recommendations, safety notes, and seasonal conditions
• Where to find food, fuel, and accommodation in Puerto Williams
• Guidance on permits, weather, bear safety (none here—just beavers), and emergency shelters

There are no villages, no facilities, and often no trail - just raw Patagonian wilderness and silence. Ideal for experienced hikers with solid navigation skills and a taste for solitude.
