Day 1 Punta Arenas - Puerto Natales
After reception at the airport or at your hotel in Punta Arenas, we drive
north through the vast patagonian Pampa to Puerto Natales. Overnight at
the Hosteria Florence Dixie.
Day 2 Torres del Paine National Park
(B)
Early start for a full day inside Torres del Paine National Park. We shall
hike in various parts of the park and see unforgettable views of the Paine
Towers and the Torres Massif, as well as Lago Grey and the Grey Glacier.
There will be lots of wildlife today that we shall approach on foot in
its natural environment. Late in the afternoon at Ranger Station Laguna
Amarga, a van from the Estancia Las Torres will be waiting for us, to
carry us the last few kilometers on their private road to our cozy mountain
cabin situated right beneath the Towers.
Day 3 Torres del Paine (B)
Today we hike to one of the highlights of the park: the base of the Torres
del Paine. Seen from up close, next to a beautiful green lagoon with a
vertical rock face towering more than 1.000 mts directly upward it is
in two words: awe inspiring, and more than worth the challenging 6-8 hour
hike to see them. We shall arrive at the Hosteria Las Torres in the late
afternoon - tired, but contented.
Day 4 Torres del Paine (B)
Our final day will be left free for you to choose to either ride on horseback
or, perhaps hike to nearby Lago Nordenskjöld with its crystal blue
water s and superb view of the Torres Massif. Some may choose to explore
around the historic hacienda and with luck see Condors circling majestically
in the thermals high above. Final overnight at the Hosteria Las Torres.
Day 5 Torres del Paine - Punta Arenas
(B)
Early morning transfer to the airport in Punta Arenas
Price Per Person in US$

Hosteria Las Torres: This is a traditional
lodge at the base of the Torres themselves. The historic buildings were
once part of an Estancia or large sheep farm. Nowadays, of course, they
do not breed sheep within the park anymore. During the last couple of
years they changed the farm to a tastefully built Lodge. The hosteria
offers comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, a restaurant and a large
living room space with a cozy fireplace for guests to relax.
Several walking/hiking trails begin at the lodge including the strenuous
but awe-inspiring hike to the base of the towers themselves.
