Day 1: Get to Puerto Natales

Day 2: Enjoy a Bird’s Eye View of the Torres del Paine Massif

We'll set out this morning with our guide to drive to the park. After a couple of hours drive and checking-in at “Guarderia Grey”, we'll hike up to Mirador Ferrier for beautiful views of the Torres del Paine massif (2 hours up). Back at Guarderia Grey, it's a half hour hike up to nearby Pingo Camp at the entrance of the Pingo Valley – our home for the night.

4-5 hours hiking

Day 3: Hike into Pingo Valley

After a delicious camp-side breakfast we'll begin a hike that leads us through this solitary, remote valley. During the hike you will be able to enjoy a spectacular view of the Torres del Paine massif. If you are lucky you can see one of the rare, endangered South Andean deer known as Huemul or the mysterious feral cows known as Baguales! We'll climb up a viewpoint to gaze upon the vast expanse of the Antarctic icefields before returning to camp for dinner and a good night’s rest.

8-9 hours hiking / 21km

Day 4: Cruise to Glacier Grey

We'll head back to the trailhead this morning to jump on the boat and cruise up Lago Grey. We'll sail past enormous blue icebergs and have a chance to marvel at the spectacular Glacier Grey before jumping off at Refugio & Camping Grey, where we will spend the night. There will be an optional walk this afternoon which will take us through the forest across multiple suspension bridges until we are looking out over the glacier, a truly humbling experience.

Day 5: Hike to Lake Pehoe

After breakfast, we'll begin our hike towards Paine Grande, where we'll camp along the shore of Lake Pehoe. There is another optional walk this afternoon to head further around the lakeside and have the chance to look back at the spectacular massif. Or for those who would rather rest, there is the chance to enjoy the famous bar and sample some delicious Chilean wine.

4 hours hiking / 11 Km

Day 6: Hike Behind the Cuernos

Get a good breakfast in, today is a longer day. We'll head towards Bader Valley, located between Almirante Nieto and the famous Cuernos. Along the way we will border Almirante Nieto and pass by Lake Nordenskjold. There will be a few rivers we'll need to hop over the rocks to cross. As you hike you will catch glimpses of glaciers and the mountaintops hovering over you.

Finally we'll see the monstrous peaks of the Cuernos. We'll enter the remote Bader Valley and continue to the campsite, before taking time to explore deeper into the valley. Tonight you will spend the night just behind the Cuernos.

7.5 hour hiking / 18 km

Day 7: Explore Bader Valley

Today after breakfast we'll have another opportunity to explore Bader Valley and enjoy the remoteness of this amazing place. When we're ready, we'll descend the valley and back to the marked trail. We'll follow the shore of Lago Nordenskjold, hiking past Almirante Nieto and finally reaching Camping Central, where we'll spend the night.

5.5 hours hiking / 11 km

Day 8: Visit the Famous Towers!

Todays the big day! We'll hike to the iconic towers of the park – Las Torres! After breakfast, we'll hike up Almirante Nieto, a mountain with incredible views of Lake Nordenskjold and the Asencio Valley.  After two hours of hiking steadily upward we'll arrive to Refugio & Camping Chileno to enjoy a good lunch before continuing onto the Las Torres lookout. We'll walk for one hour through a dense Lenga forest before approach the moraine and climbing until we see Las Torres — imposing granite peaks rising 9,000 feet into the air. Take many photos and breathe it in.

It all has to come to an end though. We'll hiking down the Asencio Valley to Camping Torre Central to be collected by our driver and taken back to Puerto Natales, where we will say good-bye to our guide. 

8 hours hiking / 18 km

Day 9: Say goodbye

Check out after breakfast and head off to your next adventure! Your local host can help arrange your onward travel if needed.

In Puerto Natales, accommodation will be in comfortable B&B's or boutique hostels such as Amerindia, Treehouse Patagonia or Aquaterra lodge. Prices are based on room sharing with others of the same sex. Private rooms are available as an extra, and hotel upgrades are also available - enquire when booking.

Out in the National Park you'll be camping. Tents and sleeping mats are provided, and your porters will pitch camps ready for your arrival. The camp facilities depend on the section of the park. On the Pingo/Zapata side and in Bader Valley it is true wilderness camping - off trail and without facilities. All other sites on the main 'W' stretch have toilets and showers.

Tent sleeping arrangements will be decided during the pre-trip meeting before you set off - you can decide who you want to share with, and if you prefer your own tent, that's fine.

Torres Del Paine is undoubtedly one of the gems of wild, magical Patagonia. In fact, to come all this way and not spend a significant chunk of time here would be foolish. The most famous landmark is of course the three soaring granite peaks of the Paine massif. It's not a one trick pony though. This wonderful national park serves up a spell-binding array of mountains, glaciers, lakes, rivers and forest, with views evolving and changing with every step. The glaciers, including Grey, Pingo and Tyndall, spill out into impressive lakes and wind their way up pre-historic valleys to join the Southern Patagonia Ice Field. Wild nature in all it's glory.

Puerto Natales, 18:00

Get to Puerto Natales any time and check in to your accommodation. Meet your guide and the rest of the group at the local hosts office in central Puerto Natales at 18:00. You will be sent the address of both your accommodation and the guides office as part of your pre-trip info pack.

The best options to get Puerto Natales depending on your other plans are either flights from Santiago to Punta Arenas, from where there are convenient buses running regularly from the airport (3hrs), or flights from Buenos Aires to El Calafate from where two buses a day run to Puerto Natales (5-6hrs with border crossing). Your host can arrange transport as an optional extra, enquire when booking.

Your accommodation in Puerto Natales
