The best of Torres del Paine in 5 days

Departure from your hotel towards the Cueva del Milodón located 24 kilometers north of Puerto Natales. Before arriving at the cave, the access path passes through the "Silla del Diablo", a name given by popular imagination to a rock structure resembling an armchair, which is said to have been the "seat" of the Milodón and which legend has transformed into the "devil".

After the visit, we continue along the new access road to Torres del Paine National Park, where we can observe lagoons and mountain ranges along the way. Next, we can admire the magnificent surrounding landscape from the Mirador del Lago Grey viewpoint (overlooking Grey Glacier, the Paine Massif, and Lago del Toro). A few kilometers further on, we can observe the Cuernos del Paine peaks, arriving at the junction that leads us to the Grey Lake area. In this area, we can enjoy a pleasant walk along Grey Lake and, weather permitting, access the Grey Peninsula viewpoint.

Back at the Guardería parking lot, we continue our journey to a restaurant located inside the park to take a break and have lunch. (Lunch not included in the price).

After this restorative rest, we begin the second stage of our visit to Torres del Paine National Park by heading towards the Sble sector.

Enjoy a delicious breakfast before leaving the hotel at 7:00 am directly to Torres del Paine National Park where we will arrive at Estancia Cerro Paine, the starting point of the trail, the beginning of our hike.

We take the path towards the Ascencio valley via a marked zigzag of one hour and then continue for another 45 minutes until we reach the Chileno Refuge on the opposite bank of the Ascencio river, in the shade of a lenga forest, with a moderate slope, crossing several springs that fall from the Almirante Nieto.

After about an hour and 10 minutes from the Chilean campsite, at an altitude of 900 meters, you reach the base of the moraine that provides access to the viewpoint. From this point, the trail climbs steeply. After about half an hour from the sign at 700 meters, you reach the eastern end of the lagoon, where there is a magnificent view of the three towers (Central, Monzino, Dagostini) and the Peineta and Nido de Cóndores hills.

After resting and having lunch in this extraordinary and unique scenic setting, we begin our return journey along the same path until we reach the starting point, to resume our journey back to Puerto Natales.

We depart from the beach at Grey Lake, heading towards the majestic glacier of the same name. For the first 45 minutes, we'll cruise along the imposing Paine massif, arriving at Grey Refuge, where we'll make a 15-minute stop to exchange passengers doing the W Circuit on the internal trails of Torres del Paine National Park. We then continue our journey, exploring the faces of Grey Glacier during approximately one hour of cruising. The views from every vantage point are truly breathtaking, allowing us to appreciate the glacier in its entirety, even observing a portion of the Southern Ice Field. Afterwards, we begin our return to the starting point, cruising across the lake among the floating icebergs that accompany us for much of the trip. As part of the tour, our staff will offer you a delicious Pisco Sour with millennia-old ice cubes, as a courtesy of the tour.
