Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Welcome to Torres del Paine National Park and the wonderful Tierra Patagonia. Today is all about settling in to your luxury lodge surroundings and preparing for your walk to begin tomorrow. A shared transfer from Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas is included to the lodge, which offers time to soak in the views of the Patagonian landscape. Keep an eye out for the guanacos and other native wildlife on the drive. Tonight enjoy a Chilean wine by the fire and a taste of Patagonia during your three course chef-prepared dinner.

Included: D

Day 2

The Towers Base Hike is arguably the best day hike in Torres del Paine National Park, if not the world. Located on the famous W Trek, the full day guided walk begins at the Ascensio River with a climb to Paso los Vientos. As you hike up the pass, the mountains come into view before crossing through native lenga forest. After a final scramble up a rocky hillside you will reach the base of the three towers for which Torres del Paine is named. Return to your luxury lodge base this afternoon and soak in the warmth of the sauna or pool before a hearty dinner in the restaurant. The views to the towers will remind you of your day's adventure as you dine.

Daily walk distance: 18 kilometres, full day hike

Included: B - L - D

Note: The sequence of your walks may vary based on the weather and your selected departure date. A detailed itinerary will be provided when you book and updated by your guide as required on arrival.

Day 3

After breakfast, set off with your guide on today's hike to the 'Valle Frances' or French Valley, a section of the W-trek known for its hanging glaciers. After a transfer to Pudeto jetty, the day begins with a beautiful boat ride across Lake Pehoe to the Paine Grande, where the trailhead is located. As you set off, you’ll soon pass two beautiful lakes with views of the 'Cuernos' or Horns as you cross small footbridges to avoid the mud and tree routes of the mountainside. After 7 kilometers, after crossing the French River, you will emerge from native forest to a view of the hanging French Glacier that spills into the Paine Grande. If fitness and conditions allow, continue climbing for another hour passing through lenga and coihue forests and by waterfalls until you reach the Plató lookout. This is a great lunch spot with its unique views of the imposing Paine Grande and the beautiful granite rocks opposite. Return along the same trail to another access point to Lake Pehoe for your cataman crossing back to the vehicle. An evening at Tierra awaits.

Daily walk distance: up to 19 kilometres, full day hike

Included: B - L - D

Day 4

After a scenic transfer by road and boat, today you will enjoy another highlight of the W-Trek, Grey Glacier and the Bridges Grey hike. This time commencing on the northern side of Lake Grey, begin with a 3.5 kilometre trek in a northerly direction to approach the east side of the glacier. Photo opportunities are everywhere as you traverse scenic suspension bridges and pass lenga forest opening to views of the Patagonian Ice Fields and dramatic Grey Glacier. Continue your hike along the Grey Glacier sector of the W-Trek for a further 11 kilometres in the direction of Paine Grande to complete your bucket-list day hike in Torres del Paine National Park. You will cross Lake Pehoé via catamaran one last time to reach your transfer back to the lodge. After completing such a special few days of hiking, tonight is all about relaxing with new friends at the lodge and perhaps indulging in a well-earned massage before dinner.

Daily walk distance: up to 15 kilometres, full day hike

Included: B - L - D
