The trails are well-marked; you should follow the signs on the trees or any indication showing the way. On the John Gardner Pass, you must always be able to see the next orange stake to ensure you are on the correct path. The trails in Torres del Paine are quite busy, so they are very well defined. We recommend not leaving the marked path to avoid erosion and accidents.
The Paine Massif circuit is one-way, so you CANNOT walk from Paine Grande to Los Perros or Dickson. From Paine Grande, you can only reach the second suspension bridge, located about 1.5 hours of walking from the Grey campsite and refuge.
The distances and trail closing times are shown in the following table:
