ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrival at Torres del Paine National Park – Las Carretas Trail

Today, your Patagonian adventure begins. In the morning, a private transfer will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Natales and take you to Torres del Paine National Park. Your journey leads to the CONAF administration, where you will start your hike along the Las Carretas Trail toward the Paine Grande Lodge. Along the way, you will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the park, and as you near the end of the trail, you will be greeted by the striking turquoise waters of Lake Pehoé. Upon arrival at the refuge, you will check in and have time to relax before indulging in a delicious dinner in this cozy haven of Patagonia.

	6 hrs		Difficulty – Medium
	17 kms		Includes – Box lunch and dinner.

Day 2: Full-Day French Valley Hike

Today’s hike will be a round trip starting and ending at Paine Grande Lodge, so getting an early start is essential. After enjoying breakfast, pick up your box lunch and get ready for this adventure. The trail leads into the heart of the park, skirting the crystal-clear blue waters of Lake Skottsberg. After about 2.5 hours of hiking, you will reach the Italiano Camp (ranger station), where the ascent into the French Valley begins. From there, you will pass through large rocks and cross a lush forest, eventually reaching the stunning French Plateau

viewpoint. At the plateau, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Los Cuernos, turquoise glacial lagoons, and the awe-inspiring hanging glaciers cascading down the eastern face of the Paine Grande massif (3,050 meters above sea level). If you are lucky, you might hear the thunderous roar of calving ice and waterfalls, and perhaps even witness an avalanche—an unforgettable natural spectacle.

Take time to enjoy your box lunch and a well-deserved rest amidst these unparalleled landscapes. Afterward, descend along the same trail back to Italiano Camp and continue to Paine Grande Lodge, completing an unforgettable journey into the heart of Torres del Paine National Park.

	8 hrs		Difficulty – Medium
	21 kms		Includes – Breakfast, box lunch and dinner.

Day 3: Hike to Grey Viewpoint

Today, you will decide the duration of your hike. You will depart from Refugio Paine Grande and head towards Refugio Grey, which is 11 km away (approximately 4 to 4.5 hours). The hike begins in a narrow and winding valley that will first lead you to Laguna Los Patos. As you progress, the landscape will change, offering your first views of the Southern Ice Field. From the first Grey viewpoint, you will get a glimpse of part of the glacier. In coordination with your guide and taking daylight hours into account, you will decide whether to continue further or return to Refugio Paine Grande, where you will spend your final night in Torres del Paine National Park.

	4 – 4.5 hrs		Difficulty – Medium
	11 kms		Includes – Breakfast, box lunch and dinner.

Day 4: Hike on Las Carretas Trail and return to Puerto Natales

Enjoy a delicious breakfast in the dining area of Refugio Paine Grande and make sure to request your box lunch for the day. Take some time to explore the surroundings and enjoy the tranquility of the area before starting your journey back. You will return via the same Las Carretas trail, and once you reach the administrative area, a transfer will be waiting to take you back to Puerto Natales, where your unforgettable experience will come to an end.
