Torres del Paine: Wellness retreat

We begin at Estancia Lazo, a traditional livestock ranch that was once part of the historic Sociedad Explotadora de Tierra del Fuego. Today, it remains dedicated to cattle farming while offering some of the most spectacular views of the Paine Massif and the emerald waters of Laguna Verde.

The journey starts beneath the silent canopy of lenga forests, as the birdsong guides our steps toward open slopes and the turquoise Paine River sparkling below. This trail invites both movement and stillness,a perfect welcome to Patagonia.

We will reach Laguna Honda and continue to the Mirador del Lago Toro. After a short but winding descent to Weber Bridge, our private transfer will take us to Riverside Camp, on the banks of the Serrano River, where we will be greeted with a freshly prepared welcome dinner and breathtaking views of the Paine Massif.

The day invites a slower pace. We follow the serene course of the Serrano River, letting its steady flow guide our steps and soften our stride.

Along the way, we will pause for a 2.5-hour Forest Bathing immersion, an experience that awakens the senses and connects us deeply with the lenga and ñirre forests. Then, we will reach the confluence of the Serrano and Nutria Rivers, where a small waterfall invites us to attune to the pulse of water and wind.

The afternoon unfolds with practices designed to restore balance and release tension: TRE®, conscious breathing, and guided journaling. Every moment is an invitation to turn inward, cultivate presence, and nurture a deeper sense of well-being.

An easy trail follows the course of the Grey River, winding through a regenerating forest. After about six hours of hiking along the Las Carretas trail, the landscape opens up to the sparkling waters of Lake Pehoé, where we pause for lunch with panoramic views of Paine Grande.

At this spot, at the foot of the Paine Massif, we will board a catamaran that takes us across the turquoise lake, whose surface reflects the shifting hues of the mountains as the light transforms the landscape.

Today we explore two iconic viewpoints, each offering a unique perspective of the Paine Massif. We begin with a gentle hike along Lake Nordenskjöld, whose glacial waters lap at the shore as the Cuernos rise imposingly above us.

Later, the trail climbs more steeply to the Condor Viewpoint, where expansive views of the valley below reward our effort. Standing here, surrounded by vast skies and rugged mountains, it’s easy to feel both humbled and inspired by the scale and beauty of this extraordinary landscape.

We travel east toward the drier steppe, where guanacos roam and the Towers rise from the plains. Here, you can choose between two options: one contemplative and one more challenging.

• Laguna Azul: A gentle walk across open terrain, ideal for contemplation and wildlife encounters. We will take time for a full Forest Bathing session, allowing this final landscape to leave a gentle imprint on us.
• Base of the Towers: A physically demanding 18 km (11.18 mi) hike with 1000 m (3281 ft) of elevation gain. We will ascend through forest and rock to stand at the foot of the Towers, where a glacial lagoon mirrors the sky. After the descent, we will practice TRE® to support muscular release.
