Guide
Camping Los Perros is a remote, designated campground and ranger-station zone on Torres del Paine’s O Circuit, set in forest at about 550 metres. This is an overnight stop on a multi-day trek, not a drive-up camp. Reserve ahead, and confirm any rental gear at this specific site before relying on it.
Los Perros sits just before the John Gardner Pass crossing. It’s a useful place to rest before the substantial climb and the long trek onward toward Grey. Think of it as part of the pass crossing, not a short side trip.
There’s no restaurant or bar at Los Perros, and visitors disagree on whether the small shop has dependable supplies, so carry the food and essentials you need. Toilets are listed, but descriptions conflict on whether showers are hot and campers report inconsistent service. Bathroom upkeep also draws complaints, and tent pitches can get muddy after rain.
Punta Puma Glacier is mentioned as a walk from camp, but the route and distance aren’t well established. Check locally before adding it to your plan.
