At the specified time, you will be transferred to your hotel in Puerto Natales.
Puerto Natales is a charming Patagonian town and the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park. Nestled along the shores of the Ăltima Esperanza Sound, it offers stunning fjord views, a relaxed atmosphere, and a unique blend of local culture and outdoor adventure. It’s the perfect base to explore the wild landscapes of Chilean Patagonia.
You will make your own way to the local operator’s office or the pier at the indicated time. The navigation to the Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers departs every morning from Puerto Bories, 5 km from Puerto Natales, and travels through the Ăltima Esperanza Fjord by catamaran for approximately two and a half hours.
Along the way, you will see the region’s historic estancias, waterfalls cascading down from the mountains, colonies of cormorants and sea lions, and, with a little luck, condors soaring above the cliffs.
At the end of the fjord rises Mount Balmaceda (2,035 m), with its hanging glacier, which can be admired from the boat. A few minutes later, we will disembark at Puerto Toro and walk through a forest of coihue and ñirre trees to the Serrano Glacier viewpoint, where the ice descends directly into the lagoon. On the return journey, an aperitif will be served on board with ice collected from the glacier itself.
The day concludes at Estancia Perales, a family-run estancia on the shores of the fjord, where lunch will be served before navigating back to Puerto Natales.
Upon arrival, you will make your own way back to your hotel.
By 6:40 AM you must be at the Bus Terminal in Puerto Natales where you will board the 7 AM public bus which will take you straight to Torres del Paine National Park. The route passes grand estancias (ranches) and flat pampas, with many possibilities of spotting ñandus (Patagonian ostrich), guanacos, and a variety of bird species.
At Laguna Amarga, the main entrance to the Park, you will show your QR code park entrance which is included in your program, then board a shuttle bound for your Refugio (Las Torres Sector). Here, you will leave your backpack at your accommodation and take your packed lunch (provided during your trek briefing in Puerto Natales held the day prior).
Now you are ready to begin the W Trek’s first highlight: the hike to the Towers lookout. A challenging trek â you will ascend following the Ascencio River into the Ascencio Valley. Here, take a moment to stop and observe the first glimpses of this gorgeous valley, complete with beech forests, glaciers and waterfalls. Continue uphill before beginning your ascent of the gigantic terminal moraine, 900 meters (2,952 ft.) above sea level. At the top, you will be rewarded by the remarkable sight of the three Towers themselves. Rest a while, take photos and have lunch.
Once ready, your descent is along the same path, taking you back to Las Torres where dinner will be served at the Refugio, where you will also rest your first evening.
