Santiago, Buenos Aires & Patagonia Journey

• Catamaran – Hike to Grey

After having breakfast at Torre Central Refuge and requesting your box lunch, you must take the Las Torres transfer at 8:15 am, which will take you back to Laguna Amarga. There, you will board the Bus Sur coming from Puerto Natales to take you to Pudeto. At 10:30 am, you must board the Hielos Patagónicos catamaran, which will sail for approximately 35 minutes across Lake Pehoé, arriving directly at Paine Grande Refuge.

From here, the hike to Grey begins. The trail starts through a narrow and winding valley that leads to Los Patos Lagoon. As you continue, you will start to see parts of the immense Southern Ice Field, as well as the icebergs floating on Lake Grey. After passing the sometimes very windy viewpoint, the trail descends through a mountainous forest until reaching Grey Refuge. From here, if you continue walking for about 10 minutes, you will arrive at the Grey Glacier viewpoint, where you will come face to face with one of the arms of the Southern Ice Field. Dinner will be served at the refuge between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

• Hiking from Grey to Paine Grande

Enjoy breakfast at the Grey Refuge dining room, and don’t forget to request your box lunch. If you didn’t have the chance to visit the hanging bridges the afternoon before, you can take the morning to go and explore the spectacular panoramic views of the Grey Glacier.

Today you will hike back along the same trail to Paine Grande. Rest and enjoy dinner at the refuge dining room.

• Farewell Torres del Paine

Today’s hike will be a round trip, starting and ending at Paine Grande—a journey into the heart of the park, walking along the blue waters of Lake Skottsberg. After approximately 2.5 hours, you will reach the Italiano campsite (ranger station), where you will begin your trek into the French Valley.

Ascend over large rocks and continue through the forest until reaching the French Viewpoint. Here, you will be rewarded with incredible views of the Cuernos, turquoise glacial lagoons, and stunning hanging glaciers cascading down the eastern face of Paine Grande (3,050 masl). If you’re lucky, you may hear the thunderous sound of ice and water crashing down, and it is also quite common to witness an avalanche.

Enjoy your box lunch and a well-deserved rest. Then descend along the same trail back to the Italiano campsite and return to Paine Grande Refuge. At 6:35 pm you must board the catamaran that will take you back to Pudeto, where you will connect with the regular bus to Puerto Natales. Estimated arrival in Natales is around 9:30 pm.
