“Your guide and map in an App”.
The trek round the Torres del Paine circuit is one of the most inspirational journeys in the world.
Whether you are going, or just thinking of going, on a trek to Torres del Paine World Adventure Guides has designed a fully interactive digital map and guide, with all the information you need.
NEW GPS MAPPING
This brand new digital map of the Torres del Paine national park was created by Virginia Sanz, one of the authors of the book, based on a Garmin base map. The map works seamlessly, allowing you to see your location in relation to all the peaks and then zoom in to see more finel detail and enable you to see indivdual buildings. The map has been built from GPS source data and gives you the marked route from start to finish, accurate contour detail, a host of features, points of interest, altitude and more.
The app includes a detailed, day-by-day, suggested trekking itinerary, superb photographs, advice on equipment, acclimatisation and health, plus additional sections on Puerto Natales, culture, customs, wildlife, language, health, & more.
The is the second app in the ‘Trek the World’ series, put together with our partners, GEOCENTER, who live and work in Patagonia and have completed this journey many times.
The app will work anywhere, regardless of phone signal or internet connection, and find your location in seconds. Watch your location on the map and record your progress as you undertake the adventure of a lifetime on this historic and breathtaking trek.
If progress recording is switched on, the app will also record your progress when it is in the background or when your iPhones screen is locked.
(Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.)
