Program details

Travel into the 181,000 hectares Torres del Paine National Park, a mountain wonderland of gorgeous valleys, glaciers, lakes and rivers. As the Park central piece Los Cuernos del Paine arises, extremely popular among hikers, trails lead throughout Torres del Paine’s awe-inspiring scenery.



We will start visiting Milodon Cave, a natural monument notable for the 1896 discovery of a giant ground sloth inside called Mylodon darwinii. A life size replica of the prehistoric creature, resembling a large bear, stands at the entrance. Several caves are accessible for us to visit with incredible stalactite formations as well as the rock formation Silla del Diablo, Spanish for “Devil’s Chair.” Next we arrive at Castillo Hill (Castle Hill) where we’ll stop at a lovely villa before entering the park, traveling along Sarmiento Lake with its breathtaking natural beauty. We then continue along Nordenskjold Lake, Salto Grande Waterfall and the Grey Lake.



We will stop at Hosteria Pehoé, where we will enjoy lunch (included) in front of the homonym turquoise waters lake. Then we will head to the Gray Sector to visit the enormous glacier that feeds the lake. Here we will take a short walk on the shore of the lake to admire the giant ice floes. We will head back toward Puerto Natales through Amarga Lagoon along a route with great views of the Paine Towers, the perfect end to a pleasant day journeying through this enchanting Chilean icon.
