It's important that while you are packing for your trip, you remember that you will be the one carrying your own backpack. A 35 - 40 liter rucksack should provide you with the right amount of space to carry what you will need for the W trek and 40 - 45 liter for the O Circuit. Be careful not to over-pack, because lugging around a heavy backpack could make your Patagonian adventure a lot less enjoyable.
Another consideration when packing is the weather. While we discourage over-packing, please make sure that you are prepared for sudden changes in temperature and weather. It can get very windy and the weather is known for going from sunny to rainy in what feels like a blink of the eye. A good waterproof windbreaker is a must.
