How is the accommodation where we will sleep for the 2 nights in the W Trek Guided Tour?

You’ll stay two nights in high-quality, 3-person tents at Camping Pehoé. Tents are never shared with travelers outside your booking. Solo travelers get their own tent, and couples will share one.

Do I need to bring any camping equipment?

No need to pack any camping equipment. Your tent will be fully set up and equipped with a sleeping bag and mat—ready for a comfortable night’s rest.

Where is the accommodation located?

You’ll sleep at the same base every night—Camping Pehoé, located on the shore of Lake Pehoé. The group also has access to a private dome, where lunchboxes are prepared each morning and where you can relax or chat with others. It’s a spacious dome with room for 20 people.

Will I lose a lot of time commuting each day?

Not at all. On Day 1, the return drive is just 20 minutes. On Days 2 and 3, it’s a 15-minute minibus ride and about 30 minutes by catamaran each way—and trust us, the boat ride is part of the experience. The location of the base is strategic and efficient.

How many people are in the group?

Groups are limited to 20 travelers, with one guide for every 5 people. You’ll stay with the same group throughout the entire W Trek Guided Tour, creating a more connected and social experience.

What if there are people in my group who walk at a different pace?

That’s no issue. With one guide per five hikers, the group can split into smaller pace-matched teams. If the groups arrive back at different times, the driver will make several trips so no one has to wait long. All staff are in radio communication to keep everything running smoothly.

The meals are a highlight! The menu features local ingredients and flavors—expect hearty Patagonian dishes like lamb and salmon (vegetarian and special diets are fully accommodated). Breakfast is buffet-style, lunch is a self-prepared lunchbox, and dinner is a warm group meal served at the campsite restaurant.

Where will the breakfasts and dinners be during the tour?

Breakfast and dinner will be served in the restaurant at Camping Pehoé.

Does the guide always go with the group?

Yes. From the first day, your professional guide will be with you on every hike. Groups of six or more will have both a lead guide and an assistant.

Is this tour better than the classic W staying each night in a different part of the park?

It’s not better or worse—it’s just a different experience. The advantages? A consistent group and guide, not having to carry your gear from place to place, and a single, well-located base camp with outstanding food. Many travelers love the comfort and community that come with this format.
