Experience Torres del Paine in Record Time
A short but challenging experience carefully designed for you to enjoy the best of the national park, with hikes and stops at the most iconic spots. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover this natural treasure on an unforgettable journey!
Day 1 - Into the French Valley
Our day begins at 6:00 AM in Puerto Natales, where your guide and private transport will pick you up at your accommodation.
As we travel to Torres del Paine along dirt roads, passing lagoons and pampas, we may encounter guanacos (relatives of llamas), grey foxes, Chilean flamingos, and black-necked swans that inhabit this region.
Upon entering the National Park, we will cross Lake Pehoé by catamaran and reach the starting point for today’s roundtrip hike. Our destination will be the Francés Valley, where we’ll be greeted by a massive glacial moraine. You’ll climb over rocks and see the hanging glacier at the top of the valley for the first time.
From this point, we will ascend for an hour through a dreamlike Japanese garden landscape before reaching the viewpoint of the Francés Valley, Le Plateau.
On one side, we’ll find the Francés Glacier and Paine Grande (3,050 m / 10,006 ft.); while on the other, the peaks of La Espada, La Hoja, La Máscara, and the main and northern “horns” of Los Cuernos rise dramatically. At the top of the valley, Cerro Catedral and Cerro Fortaleza tower over the landscape like turrets.
Here, we will have some time to enjoy lunch at the viewpoint, surrounded by these imposing peaks and open skies. The return to our accommodation, where a welcome dinner awaits us, will be along the same path.

-
Private transfer
-
35 minutes in catamaran each way

Day 2 - Navigation toward Grey Glacier & hike to Condor Lookout
After a delicious breakfast, our private transfer will take us to the Grey area, where we’ll begin a walk through a beech forest inhabited by woodpeckers, leading us to the shores of Lake Grey. After a 30-minute hike, we’ll board a 3-hour boat ride that navigates among blue-toned icebergs toward the towering face of the Grey Glacier, where we’ll pause to admire its textures, lines, and colors.
On the return journey, we’ll have the chance to spot the “ice mushrooms” sculpted by the wind atop the massive peaks of Paine Grande. Back on land, we’ll enjoy a picnic-style lunch followed by a short transfer, and then begin our hike to the Condor Lookout Point.
The trail is steep and takes about 1 hour to reach the summit, where you’ll be rewarded with one of the most breathtaking views of the Paine Massif and Lake Pehoé—plus great chances to spot the majestic Andean condor.

Day 3 - Round-Trip hike to the Base of the Towers
This final day is the most challenging of the tour. It demands stamina and determination, but offers unforgettable rewards for those who take on the climb.
We’ll begin the hike by entering the Ascencio Valley, gradually ascending until we reach the Windy Pass. This section is as beautiful as it is exposed, with strong gusts of wind. It’s essential to follow your guides’ instructions to cross this area safely.
Just a few meters ahead, we’ll reach Refugio Chileno. This is the last point along the route with bathrooms, food for sale, and internet access. Make sure to bring cash if you plan to purchase anything.
From there, we continue into a lenga forest, crossing small streams until we arrive at a panoramic viewpoint that reveals the next and most demanding stretch of the day. The trail then climbs steeply up a massive terminal moraine, where we’ll be rewarded with the breathtaking view of the iconic Towers.

Our traveler’s experiences
An unforgettable trip
Patagonia was the highlight of our trip, and it was the Chile Nativo guide that made it so special. Thank you again for all your help!
Incredible hikes and an unmatched guide!
I went on a three-day hiking excursion. Two days were light walks, and the third day was to the Torres. I stayed at the Serrano campsite. I had trouble entering the country due to the COVID tests, and the person who reorganized my schedule did a great job. Gaby (our guide) had a great personality and was very well informed about the area and the hikes. I was slower than the others in the group, and she stayed with me. I really appreciated that. She was amazing!
Incredible landscapes and details that make a difference
The overall experience we had on the W-Trek Circuit exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our 2-week trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, hiking the various trails, and doing different activities (taking a boat ride, seeing glaciers, and spotting wildlife). The camping experience was incredible! We loved the comforts of the Deluxe Tents with heating, hot showers, and restaurant-quality food. The kitchen staff was excellent, very entertaining and friendly – great hospitality! The snacks they prepared were some of our favorite dishes throughout our 2-week trip. The little details like outlets, lotions, bed warmers, and the kindness of the staff made the stay fantastic. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to get the full Patagonia experience. Excellent accommodation, excellent food, excellent people, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
An impeccable trip from start to finish
Every detail of the trip was perfect! Every transfer was punctual, courteous, and informative. The accommodations were perfect. The Fast Track domes were SO comfortable, and the food was amazing.
First class service and unforgettable landscapes
Everything was fantastic! Our Fast Track guide was THE BEST, and the meals and accommodations at Riverside Camp were WONDERFUL! The trip was amazing, the customer service was excellent, and our guides were very helpful, knowledgeable, and flexible. Thank you for an incredible trip!
Adventure and comfort in perfect balance
We have booked several trips to prepare for our vacation in Argentina and Chile. Without a doubt, their organization is the most professional and empathetic experience we’ve ever had! Top-notch worldwide!! They (the guides) helped less experienced hikers (myself included) get through the toughest parts. They were very knowledgeable about the region. They struck the perfect balance between engaging in conversations and respecting privacy. The little touches (like hot tea on a hike) were greatly appreciated; those things make a real difference. The free beer after a hike was fantastic. If we plan to return to Patagonia, they will be our first choice! An experience to remember for many years to come!
Attention, efficiency, and top-notch guides
The trip was simply amazing, with a special thanks to our wonderful guides, Chalo and Vale. I highly recommend these two incredible people. I really appreciated the quick response to questions via email.
Great trekking experience with an exceptional team!
A magnificent and very memorable hike. Everything was well organized. The itinerary was great. The food was excellent. “Challo” was the perfect guide. From the moment we met him, he was welcoming, enthusiastic, and positive. Throughout the hike, he was very helpful, informative, and always took care of the group. A big thank you to Challo for making the hike such a wonderful experience. Everything went smoothly before the trip, and Alicia’s communications were excellent and helpful!
Unbeatable value for money in a unique destination
Patagonia is an expensive destination, and we believe that the Fast Track W with Chile Nativo offers excellent value for money. Rodrigo, our guide, made our trip unforgettable. He is knowledgeable, highly professional, and approachable. He ensured that the trip went smoothly at every stage. We cannot thank him enough for this wonderful experience. Chile Nativo did not disappoint; we received excellent service at every step of the booking process and throughout our trip.
The perfect way to explore Torres in a short amount of time
It was an excellent way to see as much as possible of Torres in a short time. The sequence of activities was just right. Jorge, our guide, handled everything with tact and patience. The man is a professional. He’s fun, friendly, and knowledgeable. A top-tier guide.
