Cuernos del Paine

Day 1

This excursion to Torres del Paine National Park, offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the natural beauty of this region.
Early in the morning, we pick you up from your accommodation in Puerto Natales. The tour starts with a visit to Milodón Cave Natural Monument (approximately 1 hour, entrance optional.)
Next we head to Torres del Paine National Park, visiting the best lookout points along the way. Lookout points include: Sarmiento Lake; Laguna Amarga (with a classic view of the Towers); Nordenskjöld (with a classic view of the Paine Horns); Salto Grande (a big waterfall that connects Lake Nordenskjöld with Lake Pehoe); Weber Bridge; the shore of Grey Lake (area of icebergs) and the Grey Glacier lookout point (where we a take short stroll along the lake to observe impressive icebergs and a marvel at Glacier Grey.
The diverse animal world we witness along the way is sure to fascinate. We will certainly see herds of guanaco and rheas. And with a little luck, we may see foxes, pumas and the majestic condor.
After visiting Grey Lake, we return down the same road to Estancia Tercera Barranca, where we stay the night and dig into an excellent meal of grilled lamb on the spit. Guests enjoy views of the Towers from their rooms.

Laguna Azul

Day 2

Early in the morning, after eating a good breakfast with excellent views of Torres del Paine, we begin a horseback ride of about 6-7 hours. For the first two hours, we ride toward Laguna Azul, stopping to visit the Las Chínas waterfall on the way. Here, you will take in the best view of the three Towers yet.
We eat our lunch here, while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Paine Massif beside the lake. After lunch we continue to ride another 2.5 hours (approximately) to Laguna Amarga. Here, we visit one of the most famous lookout points of the Towers, offering classic postcard views of the national park. The vehicle will be waiting for us to return to Puerto Natales.
