Itinerary

Day 1

Discover Torres del Paine

Transfer to Torres del Paine - Tour to Puerto Natales and Milodon cave
First night of your adventure tour in Torres del Paine National Park

Transfer to Torres del Paine – Tour to Puerto Natales and Milodon cave

Start your 5-day hiking tour to Torres del Paine National Park with a pickup from any of these destinations: Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, or Calafate (Argentina). On the way to your awarded eco-lodge inside the park we’ll take you to discover a couple other interesting places near Torres del Paine!

First, we’ll enjoy a close-up view of the lakeside in Puerto Natales, where a statue of Milodon – the last giant sloth that walked the Earth 5000 years ago – will be waiting at the entrance of this picturesque town to wave its bronze hand.

Once in Puerto Natales, walk along the shores of “Cabo Última Esperanza” or just relax in one of the little cafes in town while admiring the patchwork facade of colorful houses. Enjoy lunch before leaving town, and try the best seafood in Southern Chile.

We’ll continue by exploring the Milodon Cave, three prehistoric caves where the remains of a giant ground sloth were discovered in the 1890s. Before getting to the caves, we will pass by La Silla del Diablo and learn about its mysterious legend… a story told by the oldest man in Patagonia who believed that the Devil appeared to those who came looking for him on dark nights.

First night of your adventure tour in Torres del Paine National Park

At the end of the day, we’ll reach Torres del Paine National Park and bring you to your dome to spend your first night inside the park. Enjoy dinner at the community dome and start making some new travel buds.

Trekking

Hike to Base las Torres

Hike to Base las Torres

Over the next 4 days, you’ll be able to choose between different tours and hikes inside the park. Our recommendations for today is the famous hike to Base las Torres.

This is the most famous hike in the park since it takes you to the base of the Cuernos del Paine (8500 f.o.s.l.); a challenge for climbers all over the world.

Cross Ascensio Valley, taking its winding path and gazing over Ascensio River until getting to the first stop, Refugio El Chileno. From here, you’ll continue for one hour through a lenga forest — the changing landscapes will combat any tiredness!

You’ll finally get to the moraine; the last beat of the trek, and the hardest. The last hour will be an uphill climb, but take your time, you’ll definitely make it to the top! Your efforts will be rewarded with breathtaking views of these massive granite mountains that extend past a blue lake and up to the sky. You can take a rest, enjoy lunch with a view, maybe spot an occasional red fox sneaking around, and then backtrack to the campsite.

Adventure tour in Torres del Paine: Boat trip to Grey Glacier

Optional tour to the Grey Glacier

Optional tour to the Grey Glacier

For your second day in the park, we recommend that you take one of the most adventurous day tours to visit the amazing Grey Glacier. This is an optional tour that you can add to your travel itinerary, which will take you on a hike from Paine Grande Lodge along the shores of mountain-lined Pehoé Lake to the northern end of glacial Grey Lake.

Start by crossing Pehoé Lake in a medium-sized boat and reach Paine Refuge, where you’ll start the trek. Your main objective, after 3hr 30min, will be to arrive at the viewpoint of the huge Grey Glacier, emerging from the Southern Ice Field! Enjoy lunch with this amazing backdrop and then embark to get closer to Glacier Grey. Sail between floating icebergs and visit one of the biggest glaciers inside the National Park.

At the end of the experience, we’ll drive you to Pudeto to board another boat and cross Pehoé River. From the opposite shore, we’ll drive you back to the lodge.
