About Erratic Rock
Erratic Rock is one of Puerto Natales' best-known adventure institutions, operating as a trekking outfitter, gear rental shop and hostel since 2004. Famous among backpackers for its long-running free daily talks on hiking Torres del Paine, Erratic Rock has become a trusted first point of contact for travellers planning independent treks in the region.
The company offers guided and self-guided expeditions on the W Circuit and the full Paine Circuit, along with mountaineering and climbing experiences such as ascents of the North Tower, kayaking adventures and specialised routes like the Oggioni Pass trek. Trips range from five to eight days. Alongside guiding, Erratic Rock rents high-quality camping and trekking equipment, arranges porter services, and provides hostel accommodation, making it a one-stop base for organising a Patagonia adventure.
Erratic Rock stands out for its authentic, backpacker-focused ethos and deep local knowledge built over two decades. Whether travellers need a full guided expedition, a set of rental gear, or simply honest advice on tackling the trails, the outfitter has earned a strong reputation as a cornerstone of the Puerto Natales trekking scene.
