Weather Conditions:
Chilean Patagonia is famous for its unpredictable weather and the possibility of experiencing all four seasons in one day. Therefore, it’s important to be prepared for anything. The winter climate is dry and cold with temperatures between -10º C and 10º C. Weather conditions are more stable between May and October. Because trails may be covered in snow and/or ice, it’s highly recommended that hikers bring appropriate gear to accommodate these conditions.

Itinerario
Día 1
Transfer to Torres del Paine – Round trip Base of the Towers Hike
- 2 Horas Traslado
- 8-10 hour hike, 22 KM
- 1.5 horas transfer
- Night at Mountain Refugio or Hotel (B-BL-D)
An early morning transfer will drive you from Puerto Natales to the National Park, traveling along the quiet coast and through the pampas and vast landscapes of Patagonia. Upon arrival to the Las Torres sector, we begin this iconic trek as we make our way uphill, first following the Ascencio River into the Ascencio Valley.
After an hour’s hike uphill, we’ll stop to admire the valley: its contours, textures and panoramic views of Lake Nordenskjöld.
The next 2 hours take us through tall beech forests, past waterfalls, then up a huge terminal moraine (the ridge formed at a glacier’s end point).
After reaching the lookout point 900 meters above sea level, we’ll be rewarded by the arresting sight of the Towers themselves.
Here, take your time to have lunch, take photos and enjoy the unforgettable views.
Once rested, we’ll descend along the same path to meet our transfer service which will take us 1.5 hours through the park’s beautiful wintery scenery to our accommodation for the evening. We’ll share a delicious meal together before tucking in for the night.

Día 2
Full day Alto del Toro – Paso La Feria Hike
- 30 minute transfer
- 5 hour hike, 12km
- 30 minute transfer back to refugio or hotel
- Night at Mountain Refugio or Hotel (B-BL-D)
We start our day slow, enjoying the incredible winter views and slowly rising sun as we sit enjoying a freshly prepared breakfast. Our second day’s hike takes us to a rarely visited section of the park, Alto del Toro. A beautiful area where livestock used to be kept high on this glacial plain. A short 30 minute private transfer takes us to the Weber Bridge where our trailhead begins. Alto del Toro is a rarely hiked trail which sits along the eastern side of the Paine River, the tributary of the Toro Lake, the largest lake in Torres del Paine National Park.
The first 2.5 kms (about 45 minutes) is a steep uphill hike which brings us to a spectacular view of the Mirador Toro – an incredible lookout offering 360 degree views of the intense turquoise lake below and the presence of the Paine Massif behind us. This viewpoint offers panoramic views of the park and distant mountain peaks such as Donoso & Ferrier. Continuing on, the landscape changes – a flat gradient trail with one-of-a-kind views of the Paine Massif and scattered lagoons like Laguna Los Ciervos & Laguna Honda, and native Magellanic forest. This is a special hike in the winter time offering astonishing views of the white capped mountains and snow covered landscapes that stretch into the distance.
Once we reach the Honda Lagoon, we’ll begin our return hike via the Paso La Feria trail, a beautiful horse trail which descends down to the Paine River.
Our transfer will be awaiting to take us back to our accommodation for a warm meal and good night’s rest.

Día 3
Full Day Sea Kayaking at Lake Grey & Grey River
- 30 minute transfer
- 4-5 hours paddling, 25 km
- 5-30 minute transfer back (depending on accommodation)
- Night at Mountain Refugio or Hotel (B-BL-D)
Today our second activity of this multisport adventure begins – kayaking the Grey River! After an energizing breakfast, our private transfer will take us to Grey Lake. Here, on its shores and surrounded by views of Paine Grande and Grey Glacier, our kayaking guide will give us an introduction to kayaking safety and paddling techniques.
Following this, we’ll board our kayaks and enjoy two hours paddling the lake and river, weaving through floating icebergs that have calved from Grey Glacier and been sculpted into almost postmodern shapes by the wind and sun.
While paddling, don’t forget to look up: from the waters we’ll have fantastic views of Paine Grande, Los Cuernos and Cordillera Olguín.
The textures and colors of these enormous granite peaks and walls interplay wonderfully with Grey Lake’s turquoise waters and winter’s special touch. Leaving Grey Lake, we’ll begin our descent down Grey River as it snakes through canyons bubbling with rapids and framed by steep rock faces.
On the way we’ll see different types of aquatic birds, including the spectacled duck and torrent duck. We’ll paddle for 25 km alongside the Paine Massif, down Grey River until it joins the Serrano River.
After a total of 4-5 hours on the water, our expedition ends at Serrano Village, where we’ll take a transfer to our accommodation to relax, rest, and enjoy dinner surrounded by wonderful company.

Día 4
Full Day Horseback Ride at Estancia Lazo
- 2 hour transfer
- 5 hours of walking, trotting and galloping
- 1.5 hours transfer (B-BL)
Early in the morning our private transfer will take us north through the national park as we soak in the park’s winter wonderland landscapes one last time before heading to Estancia Lazo, a working cattle ranch which sits just east of Torres del Paine.
Today’s destination is a valley on the edge of Torres del Paine National Park, reached via horseback along a path that will take us across rivers and through memorable landscapes of native lenga forests and lakes. Riding horseback in winter is a beautiful way to connect with the elements of Patagonia and enjoy the quiet and calmness of nature that this time of year brings.
After leaving our horses in their caretakers’ hands once again, we’ll take a private transfer back to Puerto Natales where our journey ends.
