Condiciones climáticas:
La Patagonia chilena es famosa por su clima impredecible y la posibilidad de experimentar las cuatro estaciones en un solo día. Por lo tanto, es importante estar preparado para cualquier cosa. El clima invernal es seco y frío, con temperaturas que oscilan entre -10º C y 10º C. Las condiciones climáticas son más estables entre mayo y octubre. Dado que los senderos pueden estar cubiertos de nieve y/o hielo, se recomienda encarecidamente que los excursionistas traigan el equipo adecuado para estas condiciones.

Por favor, recuerda: Este programa requiere cierta capacidad física para completarse con éxito. Ten en cuenta que cada miembro de un grupo guiado tendrá un ritmo diferente, pero los miembros del grupo deben seguir el ritmo indicado por el guía según la distancia y las horas de luz disponibles. Cada actividad diaria tendrá una cantidad mínima de kilómetros que se deben recorrer. Los tiempos de actividad son estimados y pueden ser más o menos dependiendo de las condiciones del sendero y del clima, así como del ritmo general del grupo. Alentamos a nuestros huéspedes a recordar que viajar en grupo guiado permite una experiencia única, creando vínculos con otros viajeros e interactuando con el guía y el destino que están visitando.

Itinerario

Día 1

Round-Trip Hike to the Base of the Towers Lookout — Transfer to Hotel Lago Grey

  • 2 Hour Chile Nativo Transfer
  • 8-10 hour hike, 22 km / 13 mi
  • 1.5 Hour Chile Nativo Transfer (BL-D)

Early morning your private transfer will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Natales and will take you to Las Torres area to begin our hike to the three Towers base.

The trail takes us through beech forests and past views of glaciers and waterfalls until we reach a gigantic terminal moraine (the ridge formed at a glacier’s end point).

We’ll ascend this boulder-strewn moraine and be rewarded by the arresting sight of the three Towers themselves. At this lookout point 900 meters above sea level, we’ll rest, take photos and have lunch.
Our descent is along the same path, then on to Estancia Las Torres where we’ll board the transfer to our accommodation: Hotel Lago Grey

*Chile Nativo Transfers allow us to continue our commitment to sustainability by minimizing our carbon footprint whenever possible. For this reason, there could be instances when a transfer in or out of the park is shared among other Chile Nativo clients who have the same start or finish date for their program. We will try our best to communicate these instances when a shared transfer will be shared with other Chile Nativo clients.

Día 2

Hike Las Carretas Trail to Paine Grande

  • 2 Hour Chile Nativo Transfer
  • 6 Hour Hike, 16 km / 10 mi
  • Night at Refugio Paine Grande (BL-D)

Your private transfer will pick you up at Hotel Lago Grey early in the morning and drive you to Torres del Paine National Park’s administration area, where our first hike will begin.
This is a 6-hour hike along Las Carretas trail to the shores of Pehoe Lake, tucked at the base of the Paine Massif.
The Grey River will accompany us along the way and we’ll have a picnic lunch before arriving at our Refugio for the night, Paine Grande.
Once there, you’ll settle into your dorm before meeting again for dinner.

* On this day there is a chance to have the Grey III navigation towards Refugio Grey (departure depends on reaching the minimum number of required guests which will be confirmed by the local provider 2 days prior to the beginning of the trip). If navigation is confirmed, we will get onboard so this way we’ll have the opportunity to explore the Grey area in depth, and then continue our program as described. This upgrade has no extra costs for Chile Nativo travelers.

** Chile Nativo Transfers allow us to continue our commitment to sustainability by minimizing our carbon footprint whenever possible.

Día 3

Round-Trip Hike to Grey Glacier

  • 8 Hour Hike, 22 km / 13 mi
  • Night at Refugio Paine Grande(B-BL-D)

Today our destination is Grey Glacier: a stirringly beautiful ice giant ending abruptly in the glacial lake of the same name. We’ll set out early, ascending 200 meters through the winding path that takes us to Laguna Negra.

Here, we’ll see sections of the massive Southern Patagonian Ice Field, a geological phenomenon that still guards many unexplored sections.

You’ll continue on to Grey Glacier’s lookout point, passing forests and rivers, with possible sightings of the spectacled and flying steamer ducks that call them home.

Almorzaremos en el mirador con el gigantesco glaciar Grey a nuestros pies, y tal vez tengamos la suerte de ver el hielo partiéndose de sus enormes paredes hacia las heladas aguas.

We return along the same path, accompanied by views of Paine Grande and the muscled granite walls of Cordon Olguín, to our Refugio where we’ll spend a second night.

Día 4

Round-Trip Hike to the French Valley

  • 7-8 Hour Hike, 18 km / 11 mi
  • Night at Refugio Paine Grande (B-BL-D)

Today’s hike is a challenging trek to heart of the Paine massif. Our destination, the French Valley, is a spectacular natural basin surrounded by peaks and hanging glaciers.

After breakfast we’ll set off on a 2-hour hike through firebush and beech forests to the suspension bridge over the French River.

At the entrance to the Valley – a glacial moraine – you’ll scramble over huge boulders and catch the first sight of the hanging glacier atop the valley.

Desde este punto, ascenderá durante una hora a través de un paisaje de jardín japonés de ensueño antes de llegar al mirador del Valle Francés La Plateau.

Your reward is a heart-stirring bird’s eye view of granite peaks and hanging glaciers.

To one side, the French Glacier and Paine Grande (3050 m); while to the other, La Espada, La Hoja, La Máscara and the main and north “horns” of Los Cuernos arch upwards.

En la parte superior del Valle, el Cerro Catedral y el Cerro Fortaleza se ciernen como torreones sobre el paisaje.

We’ll have lunch at the viewpoint, surrounded by these imposing peaks and open skies, then return to our Refugio via the same route for our final night there.

This hike is demanding and many parts of the trail are steep. This trek is a minimum of 8 hours along challenging, rugged mountainous terrains. This trek is suitable for travelers with a strong physical stamina.

Reseñas

It was a wonderful and amazing experience with a great group of people – trekkers and guides. The late winter timing meant we virtually had the trials and sites to ourselves. One thing in particular is worth mentioning. When issues arose with trekkers, e.g., inability to keep up with the main group, muscle pulls, aches and pains, etc., the guides seamlessly and very expertly handled the issues with glee and pleasure never making anything a “big” issues; they almost made it seem as another fun thing to do. Perhaps it was personality or professionalism, but they were masterful accommodating everyone without unduly impacting (in spirit or labor) the other party members.

Edward Zywicz, USA

I am very happy with the service Chile Nativo provided. First of all, the experience during the trip itself was amazing, the accommodation was more than I could ask for, the snack was delicious and our guide was not only very friendly but also extremely intelligent – he could answer all kind of questions we threw him about the park, animals, and geography! But the best part of Chile Nativo came up when a crisis hit. I got on the wrong bus the day before the tour started which prevented me from getting to the tour in time as a result. Daniella and Johana from the team were incredibly resourceful and kind to help me out of this situation. They worked after hours to help me find a private car that was willing to drive me from El Calafate to Puerto Natales in Chile. Johana even came to the office early morning to greet me and attend to me. I was beyond grateful for their professional service that really goes the extra mile in making sure I get to make to my trip and enjoy it thoroughly. Highly recommend Chille Nativo to everyone visiting Patagonia!

Amazing trip! We joined the Torres Del Paine 7 day O trek tour - note that this tour is not a complete O Trek but skipping the part from Camp Frances to Las Torres, which worked in our favour as our holiday is limited and we won’t miss much. Our guide, Debbie was knowledgeable and amicable, and very passionate about hiking. Unfortunately I fell sick during the hike and wished to leave a day earlier than planned. Debbie and Chile Nativo quickly rearranged transportation for us and was very helpful. Throughout the whole process Chile Nativo was very responsive. We had a memorable journey and I would highly recommend Chile Nativo.

Fantastic experience! We were booked with Chile Nativo via Swoop and had a wonderful experience. Our guides, Tim & Lucile, were awesome. We really enjoyed their company. They were very knowledgeable about the region (the history, animals, landscape, etc). Highly recommend.

I booked the independent, self-guided Torres Del Paine trek with Chile Nativo’s help and was so glad I did. When I looked to book on my own, everything was all reserved in Torres Del Paine and Chile Nativo was the only agency that could help me find a spot still. To still be able to go on the trip when I wanted to go, to not have to spend so much time planning all the logistics, to get a local’s recommendations on the best way to do the trek…but STILL get to do the trek on my own was amazing and worth every penny. In particular Paolina at the agency was incredibly helpful. I would recommend this agency to anyone looking to hike in Torres del Paine.

Hiking in Torres with Pepa is like walking with your smartest and wisest friend. She has an incredible depth of knowledge in everything from mycology to government, from geology to history. She is fiercely passionate about conservation and our planet and has dedicated her life to making our world a better place. Our two porters Filipe and Bastian were both incredibly strong and highly professional. Always in the know on where to set up the tent, they picked the best spot in every site we were at. Also, they were an absolute blast to hang out with after the long days hiking. I cannot recommend this particular team highly enough and if you are passionate about the environment, making the world a better place, learning everything there is to know about glaciers, mushrooms, Patagonia, the history of Chile, magma intrusions and edible berries request them by name. Thank you to all three of you for making our experience so special and I hope our paths cross again.

Our Torres Del Paine Plus trip was fantastic! A great crew of newly-made friends, guided by Izabella “La Professora”, on a journey beyond expectations. What a great time, a balance of hiking and touring. DO NOT miss the pumas!!! I will definitely go with the Chile Nativo team again, and thanks to Nestor & Juan too!
