The trails in between the famous Torres del Paine mountains are among the world's classic trekking routes. This trip will definitely be part of your once-in-a-lifetime memories!
Day 1: Punta Arenas - Eco camp
The trip starts in Punta Arenas city (optional pick up can be arranged from Calafate) during the morning either at your hotel or at the airport. From Punta Arenas we drive to the amazing Eco Camp located in world famous Torres del Paine National Park. Before arriving though, there are a couple stops. One is at Puerto Natales, a small but lively town on the shores of Seno Ultima Esperanza where will enjoy a hearty lunch with delicious local food. The other stop is at Cueva de Milodon, a massive prehistoric cave where the remains of a giant ground sloth were discovered in the 1890’s. The day ends with dinner and accommodation inside the Torres del Paine national park at the Eco Camp, in a standard dome.
Day 2: Warming up in Los Cuernos
We start our adventure in the Park with a pleasant walk through the curly Cuernos trail located beside beautiful Lake Nordenskjold. During this ‘appetizer walk’ we take in the park’s charming flora and fauna, its strong wind and the curious 4-seasons weather that will accompany us for the next days. As we advance through the trail we enjoy magnificent views of the park’s central lakes and the Paine’s Horns. Then we will enjoy a delicious box lunch to energize us for the rest of the walk. The trek ends at Refugio Los Cuernos for overnight.
Day 3: Valle Frances
After breakfast, we begin a challenging trek to Valle Frances (French Valley), a steep trail that goes into the very heart of the Paine Massif. An active walk leads us to the hanging bridge over the French River, located at the foot of the south east face of the Massif. From this point, we continue up the trail until reaching the upper prospects of the valley. There is time to have a picnic and recover from the walk. Afterwards we will make our way back to the Refugio, to enjoy a replenishing dinner and overnight.
Day 4: Torres del Paine: Glacier Grey
Today we’ll hike from Paine Grande Lodge along the shores of mountain-lined Lake Pehoe to the northern end of glacial Lake Grey. We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch before boarding the boat that sails to the blue face of Glacier Grey. You’ll have lots of time to marvel at this calving glacier before the boat ride across Lake Grey with its floating pieces of ice. From Lake Grey’s southern end we transfer to the EcoCamp. If the weather conditions do not allow us to navigate Lake Grey, we’ll instead hike to Glacier Grey. Then at Pudeto we’ll board the catamaranto cross Lake Pehoe. From there, we’ll take a short drive back to the Eco Camp in where we’ll enjoy the night.
Day 5: The Great Challenge - The Mighty Torres del Paine
After breakfast we will embark on our mission to complete the most famous trekking trail in Torres del Paine NP. We walk from the Eco camp towards Hostería Las Torres and connect with the winding uphill path to scenic Ascencio Valley. Next there will be a steep trail until the magnificent Towers come into full view, rising majestically before us with the glacial lake visible below. This is one of the most breathtaking sights of the world! Here we have lunch. Once everyone is ready, we backtrack along the same trail to the Eco Camp after quite a day.
Day 6: Relaxed Day in the Eastern Lakes
We hike to the Laguna Azul lookout where we have a gorgeous view of both the lagoon and granite towers. We continue along the eastern side of Lago Sarmiento to the calcium formations on the lake’s shores where guanacos are often seen. Later we trek to Paso Las Corneas with spectacular views of Rio Paine, Lake Pehoe and the massif of Paine. Depending on the group, we can also hike to the Toro lookout point that offers more amazing scenery - Lago Toro and the Patagonian steppe! Upon returning to the Eco Camp, a farewell dinner is celebrated with a regional favorite – a Patagonian lamb barbecue and last night in the Patagonia.
Day 7: Adios Torres del Paine!
We board an early morning vehicle to sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic ride back to Punta Arenas on time to catch the evening flight to Santiago.
