This is a book 2 in my new series of Hiking Maps for wonderful unearthly beautiful Patagonia, for its most famous national park - Torres del Paine, of course, fully updated for 2024 season. The book contains detailed 17 hiking topo maps, technical details for each trail (20+ trails) like distance (km and miles), hiking time, altitude elevation, gain and loss in altitude, visual altitude profiles, itinerary landmarks, camping sites, mountain huts, hostels, cabins, hotels, their prices, conditions and utilities. The book describes the major hiking trails (11 trails) in the park - "W" and "O" trek and circuit, but also 9 additional less-known trails off the beaten routes and less crowded, which do not require preliminary reservations (unlike "W" and "O" treks). I also give information how to hike safely in Patagonia, art and skills in surviving harsh Patagonian conditions, especially in the Andes region, as a hiker. This collection of hiking maps is in color printed on high quality paper in a compact 6x9 in (15.2x22.8 cm), lightweight, robustly made book format, which can fit into any backpack and be easily used while you are hiking and/or during planning, researching your hikes.
