u/Ok-Dog-7372

I am currently planning a trip to Patagonia scheduled for February 2027.

Question 1:

Regarding the W-Circuit(West to East)—specifically comparing the 4-night, 5-day itinerary with the 3-night, 4-day version—does the shorter option simply mean that the daily walking distance is increased while following the exact same route?

Question 2:

Alternatively, does the shorter option involve skipping a specific section of the route to reduce the overall distance?

Question 3:

If you were to recommend one over the other, which would you choose: the 4-night, 5-day itinerary or the 3-night, 4-day itinerary?

I would greatly appreciate any advice from those who have completed this trip.
