ITINERARY

Day 1: Catamaran - Paine Grande

Today your adventure begins. You will leave early from your hotel in Puerto Natales, in a private transfer that will take you to the bus station. From this place the bus will depart to Torres del Paine National Park, exactly to Pudeto to board the Hielos Patagónicos catamaran, which will sail for approximately 35 minutes across Lake Pehoé, arriving directly to the Paine Grande refuge.

Free afternoon in Paine Grande.

Arriving at Paine Grande after checking in you can make the hike to Mirador Grey.

	14 kms		Box lunch and dinner

Day 2: Hike to the French Valley -British Viewpoint

Today’s hike will be a round trip, starting and ending in Paine Grande. Travel to the heart of the park, bordering the blue waters of Skottsberg Lake. After approximately 2.5 hours of hiking, you will arrive at the Italian (ranger) camp, where you will begin your trek into the French Valley. Climb over large boulders and then continue through the forest until you reach the French Lookout. Here, you will be rewarded with incredible views of Los Cuernos, turquoise glacier lagoons and amazing hanging glaciers that tumble down the east face of Paine Grande mountain (3,050 m.a.s.l.). If you are lucky, you can hear the thunderous noise of the glacier and falling water, and it is also very common to witness an avalanche. Enjoy your box lunch and a well-deserved rest. After a rest continue to get the ultimate reward, the view from the Mirador Británico.
