Campamento Paine Grande

Campamento Paine Grande sits on the northwestern shore of Lago Pehoé, within Torres del Paine National Park, directly beneath the dramatic granite walls of the Paine Massif.

It is a key stop on the W Trek and serves as the starting point for routes to the French Valley and the Gray Glacier. The campground is reachable by catamaran across Lago Pehoé from the Pudeto dock, a roughly 30-minute crossing.

Operated by Vertice Patagonia, the site offers tent camping on open green fields with views of the Cuernos del Paine and Cerro Paine Grande. Shared bathrooms with hot water showers are available on-site, along with a barbecue area.

A refugio with additional lodging options adjoins the campground. Reservations are required, as the W Trek operates on a strict booking system that fills well in advance during the December–February peak season.
