Be Safe

Trekking in Torres del Paine requires attention to safety, personal responsibility, and common sense. Moreover, you need to come with the right clothes, be very aware of changing weather conditions and bring other items such as a torch, water, and food for the period when you are out trekking. Consequently, if you need serious emergency help it may well be VERY SLOW in arriving.

Helicopter Rescue

Moreover, often helicopters cannot get into the park because of high winds and the long distance from Punta Arenas. For this reason, rescue from the remote sectors of the Park will usually mean transport by horseback or being carried on a stretcher. Above all, such “extractions” from the Park will be over rough terrain to the nearest road vehicle, followed by drive for 2 or 3 hrs to Puerto Natales, or even longer to Punta Arenas.

Therefore, it really would be a good idea to NOT fall down, twist and ankle or worse.
