In the morning, you'll depart from the hotel in a comfortable van, and head towards the Grey Lake station. The first stop will be the hanging bridge over the roaring Pingo River. From there, we'll make our way through the Lenga forest until we reach the windy shores of Lake Grey, where you'll be awestruck by the massive icebergs that calve off the Grey Glacier. After a moderate hike uphill, you'll get an up-close view of the glacier's impressive icy expanse. We'll then return to the Grey station, where a van will be waiting to take you back to the hotel for lunch.

In the afternoon, we'll set out on foot along the beautiful Pehoe Lake, with opportunities to spot various orchids and ñirre trees that make up the local flora. We'll ascend to a triangular rock that offers stunning panoramic views of the intense blue of Lake Pehoe and the Paine ridge. On a clear day, you'll enjoy an exceptional bird's-eye perspective, completely different from the hotel's view. Finally, we'll descend and catch a glimpse of the turquoise stones of the Paine River from a distance.

Later in the day, you'll meet with a guide to discuss your upcoming activities for the following day.

After a hearty breakfast, we'll depart from the stables on horseback, riding through forests, pampas, and rivers en route to the Black Lagoon lookout. This two-hour ride will take us past several lagoons, providing ample opportunities to spot a variety of bird species, including teros and caiquenes.

Later in the day, you can choose to embark on an exhilarating bike excursion through the stunning landscapes of Cañadón Macho. Starting from the Laguna Azul area, we'll gear up and hop on our bikes, beginning our journey with a mainly downhill ride. The area is known for its abundant guanaco population, with sentinels keeping watch over the herd from atop the hills. In the distance, the Three Towers soar above the horizon as we make our way back to the hotel.

You'll have the option to cycle all the way back to Tierra Patagonia, or you can opt to rest and catch a ride in the support vehicle whenever you're ready.

This morning, we'll transfer you from the Explora lodge to Punta Arenas airport for your onward flight.
