Day 1 - Zoom out of the Paine Massif

Our journey begins in Puerto Natales, where we will drive for two hours to Estancia Lazo, a 13,000-hectare cattle ranch founded over a century ago. From there, we will hike into Torres del Paine National Park along a mostly flat trail, where we can observe the local wildlife.

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

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 - Roundtrip hike to the French Valley

After breakfast, a private transfer will take us to Lake Pehoé, where we’ll board a short 35-minute catamaran to Paine Grande Refuge. From there, we’ll begin our hike toward the entrance of the French Valley. The trail gradually ascends for about an hour until we reach the French Valley viewpoint: La Plateau.

We’ll take our time to enjoy lunch at the viewpoint, surrounded by towering peaks and vast open skies. Afterward, we’ll retrace our steps back to Paine Grande and board the catamaran once again to cross Lake Pehoé.

Our private transfer will be waiting to take us back to Riverside Camp.

We will enjoy a peaceful walk along the shoreline, following a trail that skirts the black sand beach, where you’ll be treated to a wonderful view at the Cuernos Lookout.

On the way back, we’ll take a break to enjoy a fresh snack and a short rest before our private transfer takes us to the next starting point at Sarmiento Lagoon. After approximately one hour of hiking, we will reach a rock formation featuring a series of cave paintings that date back 6,000 years.

Day 5 - 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.
