Upon arriving in the picturesque city of Puerto Natales, you will immerse yourself in its warm and unique atmosphere. Depending on your arrival time, today you can explore the city, walk along the waterfront, and dine at one of its restaurants, before relaxing at your accommodation and preparing for tomorrow’s visit to the incredible Torres del Paine National Park.
We will depart from Puerto Natales towards Villa Cerro Castillo, enjoying a 45-minute drive surrounded by Magellanic forests, glacial valleys, and majestic mountain ranges. Our first stop will be the viewpoint at Lake Sarmiento, where we’ll admire the Paine Mountain Range and the stunning Lake Sarmiento. Next, we’ll head to the Laguna Amarga viewpoint, known for its flamingo inhabitants, and then to the main entrance of Torres del Paine National Park to register our entrance tickets.
Along the way, we will visit iconic viewpoints such as Lake Nordenskjöld, Salto Grande, Lake Pehoé, Weber Bridge, and Lake Grey. On our return, we will stop at the Grey viewpoint, which offers spectacular views of Lake Toro and, weather permitting, the Grey Glacier.
We will end the day by exploring the Natural Monument of the Milodon Cave, a site of significant historical and archaeological importance. After this final visit, we will return to Puerto Natales, carrying with us the memories of an unforgettable day discovering the unique and majestic landscapes of Patagonia.
After enjoying an energizing breakfast at your hotel, you will begin the exciting journey to the Base of Torres del Paine. Early in the morning, you will head towards the National Park, making your way to the Reserva Cerro Paine, where the trail begins. Before starting the hike, the guide will provide key instructions and ensure the group is equipped with everything needed, including trekking poles and winter gear such as crampons and gaiters.
The initial ascent, lasting about an hour, will take you along a zigzag path that reveals the first views of the Ascencio Valley. You will continue through a lenga forest along the Ascencio River, surrounded by spectacular views of Cerro Almirante Nieto. After a brief rest at Refugio Chileno, you will face the final section: a challenging trail that leads to the viewpoint in front of the iconic Torres del Paine. Here, the towering Central, Monzino, and Dagostini peaks, along with the Peineta and Nido de Cóndores mountains, will offer you an unparalleled natural spectacle. After soaking in the magnificent scenery and capturing memories in photos, you will begin the descent on the same route. At the end of the day, you will return to Puerto Natales, satisfied with having explored one of Patagonia’s most iconic landscapes.
Enjoy a delicious breakfast at the hotel of your choice and start your last morning in the charming city of Puerto Natales.
