► ABOUT THIS HIKE
In November 2023, I hiked the O-trek (including the W-trek) in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile in southern Patagonia.
Day 1: I traveled by bus from Puerto Natales, entered the park at Laguna Amarga, and set up camp at Las Torres. I hiked to Mirador Base Las Torres, covering 23 kilometers. Day 2: I trekked 39 kilometers to Campamento Dickson, passing Rio Paine, Campamento Seron, and Lago Paine, with the glacier Dickson in the distance. Day 3: I covered 25 kilometers through a stunning forest to Los Perros, passing the Perros Glacier, and did a day-hike to the Puma Glacier on a non-maintained trail. Day 4: The day started with a climb to the Paso John Garner pass in snow. At top I got a mesmerizing view of the white expanse of Grey Glacier. I followed the trail along the glacier to Campamento Grey, then to Paine Grande campground. Day 5: despite the rain, I covered 43 kilometers. I hiked up to Mirador Británico and back to Central via Camping Francés and Refugio Los Cuernos. On the day 6, I woke up at 2:30 am and climbed to Mirador Base Las Torres, completing the final 20 kilometers of my 182-kilometer journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia.

I remember the same journey I made some years ago and how it changed my life, feeling like I was looking God in the face. In its trees, in the wind amidst the mountains, in the rain and in the cold. Everything is perfect in the Chilean Patagonia. Thank you very much for your video.
Patagonia is one of the master pieces of nature.
Oh yeah, for sure!
masterpieces*
Patagonia is by far one of the most off the charts places on this planet and your film capturing and releasing to my eyes, ears and deep sensing gave me views I had not heretofore experienced the sites. A lot of work and core love you put into your work and I’m sure brings you great joy. So many aspects of your filming I thought was just beautiful that to describe in this small note would be vain. Thank you for bringing me into another one of the spaces I too long to adventure. Peace brother.
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it! Making these films is a lot of work for sure, but I love every second of it. It's so rewarding!
@@HarmenHoekeasily the best film of the circuit I've seen.
evoked some great memories,
thank you
Harmen, I seldom comment on videos but this is art in its purest form. The videography and production of every single one of your videos is so inspiring and beautiful. Thank you
I appreciate getting one of those rare comment. (: Thank you for the nice words.
Not a single word. The music, the sound of elements, I truly was able to transport myself to those places and feel once again those wonderful sensations walking The Chilean Patagonia. This is a piece of art, both the video and the landscape. Just Love it.
Wonderful, no high tech equipment, no screaming, just nature, nice views and calm music, what could be better - dream of every man :)
When you hear those birds singing loudly "creek creek creek", they announce rain for the following day.
In the central area of Chile they are called queltehue, in the south they have another name, Treile. ☺️💖🇨🇱
This was hands down one of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam, this is the kind of content the internet was made for. Thank you once again for putting God's creation on display in such a beautiful and profound way, Harmen. May God bless you and your work, brother.
A wonderful video that portrays our beloved Chilean Patagonia in all its greatness. Thank you for sharing these spectacular images, you do an incredible job!
Appreciate it, thanks!
Dear Harmen
I absolutely LOVE your videos… silent hiking. Brings my mind at ease. So peaceful. What I Love the most is the slow pace in your videos.
But… it seems to me that the wonderful slow pace and slow change of scenes has sadly been left behind?
Please dont rush the scenes… please keep the slow pace - it it your trademark 🤗🙏🏻
I just did this trek a month ago (late November 2023). I would guess you were there a week or two before me as the conditions look very similar. I don't have the talent or ambition to make a video such as this. I'm so greatful that you did. It helps cement the memories.
Very cool! Glad you liked it!
A masterpiece, as always!
You know your way with a camera, always ingenious point of views, perfect framing, immersive sound, captivating.
It's my pleasure! Thank you for the kind words. I simply love doing it, so I'm eager to put in the work.
Que bueno que hayas estado en Chile. Hermoso estar en base torres al amanecer. Saludos y felicidades 🇨🇱
Muchas gracias!
Cómo hicieron para estar en la base al amanecer?🤔
Love your silent hikes, Harmen. The breathtaking landscapes you traverse speak volumes😊❤ You are the BEST! 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
Thank you for the kind words, it's my pleasure!
I think this is most beautiful scenery so far.
Glad you think so!
I live in the Chilean Patagonia an this is one of the best videos capturing the real essence of this wonderful place in the world. Congratulations
Estuve en diciembre de 2008 haciendo el circuito de las Torres del Paine solo, la visión del glaciar Gray cuando se accede desde Los Perros en el paso John Gardner es inolvidable. Este video de Harmen me ha transportado 15 años atrás. No entiendo como este canal no tiene más suscriptores. La calidad de las imágenes, el montaje de las mismas .....es absolutamente extraordinario. Gracias.
Muchas gracias por los cumplidos! La vista sobre glacier Gray era mi favorito!
It is a very beautiful place, it feels like you are in heaven.
Glad you think so. It's really beautiful!
I thought I was getting over nostalgia since leaving but this made it come back infinitely stronger. Thank you for capturing all the magic- it was if I was transported back.
I just wanted to thank you Harmen for all your effort and work. I had an accident and currently in the hospital. Your videos offer a great escape from reality. Thank you!
Amazing Chile. 🇨🇱
I'm travelling to Patagonia next year and I've watched a million pieces about it. There's no doubt your eye is different, there's just some scenes no one else captures. Thank you for sharing it. Also the start of the O route kinda looks like a Patagonian Fanal!
I hope you're gonna have a great time out there, it's beautiful! Thank you for the kind words. And indeed, it did! Especially the section at 5:15
great magical work, welcome to Chile, feel at home , Excelente
The beauty of Patagonia is undeniable, it is a masterpiece of nature. But I admire your tenacity, as for me I would say heroism, to overcome so many difficulties, in the cold and rain, bravo and thank you so much for this amazing film.
I embrace cold and rainy weather. It makes for a good film and good memories. (; Thanks for the compliments!
@@HarmenHoek You are an extraordinary person and this is not a compliment, it is the truth. You see and feel nature, and this is the best thing we have. Thank you .
Fascinante estuve hay pero tu trabajo transporta a este viaje nuevamente es hermoso mi pais Chile🥰
🎉gracias por el silencio y los paisajes, muy bello lugar 😊
A few months ago, I started watching your films from around the globe, and it's been amazing to watch you in my beautiful country. Your work is the finest videography I've ever seen in these kinds of videos about outdoors and adventure. A big thank you! Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱.
That's awesome! Glad a Chilean approves it (: Thanks a lot!
Harmen, geweldig wat je ons laat zien. De nietige mens in verhouding tot de Schepper. Je bent een kanjer en ik hou van je. 😉
Henkbird
It's a strange feeling but I feel at peace imagining myself being buried in this soil when I pass and becoming part of the trees and mountains forever.
Glory to the Creator of Patagonia!
Great camera work and editing, thank you, Harmen!
Thank you!!
The backgrounds were absolutely stunning❤❤
Oh yes, indeed!
Harmen, you held my wife and I utterly captivated and spellbound. Thank you for your astonishing production and the sheer effort you put into these stunning works. Thank you and cheers from Sydney, Dave
This looked like a real struggle at times but that final shot of the sunrise was absolutely fabulous - thank you so much for sharing your awesome trip
Thank you, my pleasure!
You have a way of capturing the beauty and essence of the wonderful places that you visit that evokes emotion. You are gifted and I mean that in the most sincere way Harmen. Love all your videos of places I may never go but get to experience through you thankfully.
I am glad you think so, and thank you for the compliments. (:
Are you from the Netherlands? My sister lives in Zeist. We are not Dutch but she has lived there since 1972. She lives to hike but lately she has been having health problems at 76 years of age. So have been sending your videos to her on TH-cam. Thank you so very much for your fantastic videos.
The final sunrise shots are beyond words. True artistry . . . both on your part and Nature’s!
Babe wake up, new Harmen Hoek silent walking vid just dropped.
Muchas gracias por esta obra maestra de la Patagonia Chilena, en especial el Parque Nacional Torres del Paine ❤️ ojalá ver más videos así de otras partes de Chile y su Patagonia, ya sea en la Cordillera de Darwin, Carretera austral, Campo de Hielo norte o sus fiordos, bueno hay muchisimos lugares impresionantes en Patagonia Chilena tardariamos una vida entera recorriendolos🇨🇱🏔️❤️
Thank you. Chile is really beautiful.
سبحان من خلق فابدع
كلما حدقت أكثر في تلك الطبيعة الساحرة أزداد اطمئنانا وسكينة وبنفس الوقت ازداد تساؤلا... أنساءل بأي آلية تدخل تلك الألوان السرور في نفوسنا ؟؟ وما هو السرور أصلا؟
تبارك الله احسن الخالقين
👍
Loved the bird shots, birdwatching is a great supplement to hiking for me!
In the end of each video Biblical references . . Nature with harmony.. wonderful work.
Absolutely brutal pace, but the winter views you shared are priceless! 🤩
Hola Harmen. Missing the trovatrip group and Argentina. The last 2 mins of this film WOW!
Hi Joe! Me too! Hope we meet again!
Beautiful and captivating, some forestscenes seem straight from a fairytale 🧚 The horses!! 😍 🐎 And of course that beautiful sunrise at the end. Thank you again Harmen
“Oh~Harmen's uploaded a new video, I shall watch it tonight when I'm bathing.”
2 mins later in the bathing room, "Dxxm! I must get out and watch it on my 85'' TV!"
Another EPIC journey, well done bro!
Hahaha, time for an 85" tv in your bathroom (;
I'll make it on my list for sure!!@@HarmenHoek
Every upload is a spectacular film. Man alive, are we looking forward to this one. Patagonia Harmen style... can't wait!
Hope you liked it!
Lovely to hear from you, Harmen. Yes, the family and I watched it last night (4 of us). We've seen a number of Patagonia videos of canoeing on rivers but never one like yours. We love the silence and apropos music that goes with your unique style of filming. Always looking for you in every scene. Thank you, dear man. Merry Christmas.
Beautiful video, Harmen. Walking with the glacier in the background - epic. Thank you.
Thank you!
Such a photographic tour de force. There are a lot of brilliant hiking channels. But no one else captures so much beauty and majesty in a single film. Best Christmas present to the world ever. Thank you. Just ...Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you Harmen! Really good, as always. Maybe even inspiring me at age approaching 74 next month to do this while I can😊😊. But much beyond that I think your videos are illustrative of the power of the unspoken. I recently watched the film “2010 The Year we Make Contact” and many critics correctly described the excellent visuals as equal to or exceeding the quality of the original “2001…”.But to me, the difference is that Kubrick understood the enormous potential of shutting the f**k up.
Thank you for the comment, much appreciated! If there's no need to talk, don't do i. (;
Don't wait one moment and do it !!!
Life all around you it was like taking a crisp deep breath. 👍the Ruddy-headed , Ashy-headed,and Upland geese were cool. Still enjoying your films. Thanks Harnen. Great Details of life .
I have watched many of your presentations and am never not deeply moved, by the solitude, the staggering beauty that has brought tears to my eyes countless times and by the many questions I have about you, what brought you to this adventurous existence, how you do it, what you feel, and so many more questions. I don’t know if you’ve ever done a written blog or some such thing but I’m certainly not the first person to want to know more. Thank you for each glimpse into worlds most will never see/feel/hear, the wonder…..
Thank you for your kind words! I used to write itineraries on harmenhoek.com/itinerary, but no longer do that. I share some info about me on Patreon, but I tend not to share too much, especially not here. I want it to be about nature, no about me. (;
@@HarmenHoek I certainly understand, Harmen. You are nothing if not low key. Perhaps someday you will write a book about these miraculous adventures of yours. While you want it "to be about nature and not about you", I promise there are many out here who long to know more. I of course respect your feelings. Cheers and I hope you have a Happy Christmas.
Simply stunning!! Love the views, the background music, the quiet scenes, everything... thank you for sharing! 🙏
Thank you for the compliments!
Thank you. Beautiful cinematography, as always. Some superlative framing and several truly stunning images - Roger Deakins, eat your heart out. My wife and I trekked Torres nearly 22 years ago, during a trip around the world. It was our favourite trek of the year (though I remember the night before your last sunrise hike as being the coldest of my life - our kit was definitely not up to the task!).
que hermoso! he conocido las torres pero no por los senderos. Admiro a la gente que disfruta el senderismo, y agradezco que compartas las imágenes
Se quiser ver Torres Del Paine, sob um novo ângulo, recomendo este vídeo, achei as imagens simplesmente magníficas. Trabalho feito por um jovem com muita visão e muita dedicação. Sensacional.
Your videos and photos are just another world.. every second is amazing and breathtaking. I wish every person on earth could see your content!
Me has hecho llorar, pero no es tristeza, es de alegría, felicidad, un lugar donde yo fui feliz con mi pareja. Lo seguimos siendo, pero ahora no somos dos, sino que somos tres, y a mi hija la llevaré donde fui fuimos felices algún día cuando fuimos jóvenes.
I watched this again for the second time. I love it.
I initially wondered why you hiked at night, but later realized it was because you wanted to catch the sunrise. The gorgeous view at the end was so worth it. Thank you for taking us along with you.
I wish I could be there in person but I could never because I am not young and strong enough. Thank you for sharing. I love your work. The videography, the music, everything! Take care and be safe.
Glad you enjoyed it! It wasn't easy getting up at 2:30am and hiking for 2 hours in the dark in the cold. But it was so worth it when the sun came up! Take care as well, and happy holidays!
Amazing landscapes and a very beautiful flow. It is both mesmerizing and relaxing.
Thanks a lot!
The ending was breathtaking, well the whole film was too
Thank you!
I would love to see you do a week or so in the Altai mountains with the nomads, that would be awesome.
Glad you took some time lapses of the night sky, many people don't get to appreciate how crazy it is with no light pollution. Hiking under the stars in nature must be the most fulfilling thing someone could experience.
Awesome video! Looking forward to our hike in Patagonia in March.
Beautiful video. I was in Argentina side to Mt Fitzroy. Your videos are so relaxing and makes us feel we are there. ❤❤❤
Hi Harmen! Hi from S.Korea. I love your videos that makes me calm and releax.
While watching your video it was really cool to see you enjoying hiking! Appreciate for your videos that capture amazing landscape!! 🙂
Thank you so much!!
You hit the jackpot with those lighting conditions on day 5!
What a bewildering landscape! The glacier is just…WOW, your camera is so good. Thank you for bringing us on this adventure.
Thanks a lot!
Esse lugar é incrível, vale muito a pena conhecer! 😍
It's a really beautiful view.❤
Torres Del Paine is on my bucket list & now I can't wait to go! 🤩
Oh yes, I can recommend! (;
The most good video for the end of the year! ❤
It makes you dream, to feel and fly on! 😊
Thanks for all you are doing to us who cannot be allowed to see it! 🤗
I wish you a lot of health to be able to continue your work! ❤
Sincerely Hugs from Italy! 🤗❤🤗
besides the beautiful cinematography and landscapes, the quiet soundtrack and stable camera was simply peaceful.
Glad you think so! Thanks!
Always love your videos. So beautiful. This one has a special place in my heart as we spent our honeymoon here. Stunning country. Thank you!
Some great shots in this one, and Patagonia is just wild and beautiful. Thanks Harmen!
Thank you!
that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thank you! It's my pleasure. Have a great day too!
Patagonia and Atacama desert.... 🇨🇱😍
