Beginning of the experience
Reception at Punta Arenas airport. Transfer to the hotel. In the afternoon, a city tour exploring the city of Punta Arenas and its main attractions, including the Nao Victoria Museum. At sunset, we will return to the hotel.
We will depart from your hotel at 8 AM heading to Torres del Paine National Park. Our first destination is the Milodon Cave, where remains of prehistoric animals were discovered in 1895. Here, you'll learn about the history of both animals and the early humans who reached this site.
Next, we'll head to the town of Cerro Castillo for a brief break, where you can enjoy snack services, cafes, and souvenir shops. We will then continue our journey to Torres del Paine National Park, where the first natural landscapes you'll appreciate include the Sarmiento Lake viewpoint, the Torres del Paine, Cuernos del Paine, and Cerro Almirante Nieto. Regarding wildlife, you may encounter guanacos, ñandus, and condors.
Inside the park, we'll see turquoise-colored lakes like Pehoé and Nordenskjold, waterfalls, and ice-covered mountains. Later, we'll take a 15-minute walk to see Salto Grande, an impressive flow of water cascading 10 meters from Lake Nordensköld to Lake Pehoé.
Afterwards, we'll enjoy a snack, and later, we'll take a walk along the shores of Lake Grey, where you can appreciate icebergs and the famous Grey Glacier. Depending on the preferences of the tourists, the return can be done via the same route or through the new path, dropping you off at your accommodation.
At 5:00 PM, we'll be back at your hotel.
We will explore the capital of the Última Esperanza Province by bicycle, discovering all its corners in an original way. The area was discovered in 1557 when it was inhabited by the Kawéskar and Aonikenk tribes. However, it was only three centuries later that it was explored again in an expedition led by the British Admiralty.
Discover the entire history and the places that narrate it with this entertaining bicycle city tour of Puerto Natales!
We will depart around 7:00 AM from your hotel in Puerto Natales, heading to the Las Torres area, where Estancia Cerro Paine is located. We will start our trek along a trail towards the valley, passing over a suspension bridge over the Ascencio River. About 150 meters ahead, we will take a fork that will lead us to Base Las Torres.
We will continue on a zigzag path with a marked slope for about an hour. Passing by a spring, and after 45 minutes, we will reach Camping Chileno, on the opposite bank of the river, shaded by a forest with a moderate slope. After a little more than an hour from the campsite, we will reach the base of the moraine to access the viewpoint through an increasingly steep trail.
About half an hour later, we will reach the eastern end of the lagoon, offering a beautiful view of the three towers and the Peineta and Nido de Cóndores hills. We will take advantage of the location to enjoy our box lunch, and then we will return to the starting point. There, we will board the vehicle that will take us back to Puerto Natales.
We will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Natales to travel to Puerto Bories. On the way, we will see the buildings of the old cold-storage plant in the town, as well as small ranches.
Upon reaching the dock, we will board the boat that will take us to sail through Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, where the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers are located, part of the Southern Ice Fields. We will see a colony of imperial cormorants, sea lions, and forests of coigüe, canelo, lenga, and ñirre. At the end of the fjord, our boat will dock, and we can disembark to walk for half an hour along a trail that borders a lake, reaching the viewpoint of the Serrano Glacier.
In the afternoon, we will return to Puerto Natales along the same route.
Transfer from your hotel to the terminal to begin a return journey of two and a half hours directly to Punta Arenas airport.
