Today starts your adventure! This experience begins early, departing towards Torres del Paine National Park. You will travel through beautiful landscapes until you reach Pudeto, where you will have to take the Catamaran that will take you to Paine Grande. From here begins the hike through a narrow and winding valley that leads to the Los Patos Lagoon. As you keep moving forward, you will begin to see parts of the immense Southern Ice Field, as well as the ice floes of Grey Lake. After passing the sometimes very windy viewpoint, the path descends through a mountainous forest until it reaches the Grey refuge. From here, if you continue for about 10 minutes, you will reach the Mirador del Glaciar Grey, where you will find yourself face to face with this blue ice massif.
For an unforgettable view of the Gray Glacier, on this day you can reserve about 3 – 4 hours in the morning (round trip) past the refuge in the direction of the famous Hanging Bridges. It is the best viewpoint of the Glacier. In addition, you can contemplate the impressive ice, and you can see the depths of the ravines formed by the rivers and waterfalls that come from the Cordón Olguín. If you are lucky, you will be able to see ice slides from the Glacier into the cold waters of Grey Lake. In the afternoon, optional activities such as ice hiking or kayaking are available. Please note that these activities require prior reservation and are subject to an additional cost.
Enjoy breakfast in the dining room at Grey Refuge and remember to request your box lunch for the day. If you did not have the opportunity to visit the Hanging Bridges, you may take the morning to explore them and admire the spectacular panoramic views of Grey Glacier.
Today, you will retrace the same trail back to Paine Grande Refuge and then you will board the catamaran to Pudeto, where you will connect with the regular bus departing to Puerto Natales.
