This is my first travel guide in the new series "Visual Hiking Guide" for wonderful Patagonia, of course, fully updated for 2021/22 seasons. I decided to create this new series to help skilled hikers and ordinary travelers to trek through complex terrain of Torres del Paine National Park (TdPNP) with confidence, safety, and knowledge of the place by using graphical content: infographics, detailed topo maps, schemes, drawings, and pictures with some flavor as text. Such presentation of the data will ease the use of the travel guide in field, will make it more versatile and practical for any age, level of English or background knowledge. The guide contains: all prices, new park rules, timetables, bookings, how to get in by buses, planes, and catamarans, where to stay and eat and how much it will cost, all conditions for accommodation, plus, - detailed description of 11 major hikes in the "W" and "O" circuits, as well as 4 additional less-known, secret hiking trails in the park. The guide also provides 100+ precise GPS coordinates for all sightseeing, viewpoints, trailheads and trail splits, footbridges, walking boards, suspension bridges, Campings, Refugios and Hotels, shops and restaurants. 17 hiking maps depict topography of the terrain, major and sidewalk trails, river and canyon crossing, glaciers and lakes, sightseeing. In addition, there is info for each hike regarding hiking distance, complexity, altitude with elevation profiles.
