I went to Chile two years ago. I went on a backpacking trip to Patagonia, I was in your same shoes, I thought about renting gear because I thought it would be way less stress and weight and what have you if I rented. However, after a lot of thought I brought all my own gear and man was it the right decision. I went into one of the gear shops outside of the park and it was all shit. The gear looked like it came out of someones garage and just awful. Almost unusable I was so glad I brought my own equipment, the best thing I could say to use is bring your own gear it worth all the trouble and then some.
