Start: Day 1 at 7:00 am in the Puerto Natales Bus Station.
End: Day 3 at 4:30 pm in the Puerto Natales Bus Station.
Day 1: Departure from Puerto Natales and Grey Glacier Lookout trek (22 km, 8 to 9 hours).
You must be in the Puerto Natales Bus Station to begin the trip to the Torres del Paine National Park. You will take the bus to reach the Pudeto area, where you will take the catamaran to cross the Pehoé Lake. If you have clean skies, you will see the Paine Massif and the Cuernos del Paine from the lake. You will be able to take amazing pictures, for sure. You will disembark in the Paine Grande area, from where you will start walking by a gorge in which suddenly you will lose sight of the Paine Massif and start to see the Grey Lake to your left. You will visit the lookout points until reaching the main lookout that will allow you to see the wall of the Glacier and the small icebergs detached from the glacier. The lookout point is near the refugio Grey, where you will rest during the night.
Day 2: Glacier optional activity and Paine Grande Trek (11 km, 4 to 5 hours).
You will get up early to enjoy one of the two activities available from the base located in the Grey Area:
- Grey Glacier Ice Hike: 15-minute navigation by Zodiac to the Nunatak Island, from where starts the 1-hour hike with crampons, piolet, harness and helmet on the Grey Glacier.
- Grey Glacier Kayak: kayak navigation between the small icebergs surrounding the glacier and, if the weather is good enough, close to the Nunatak Island, to have another perspective of the glacier. Wetsuit, jacket and waterproof boots, kayak gloves, kayak skirt, kayak vest and life vest included.
After the experience, you will start walking back to the Paine Grande area, where you will spend the night to rest.
Day 3: Pehoé Catamaran and arrival to Puerto Natales.
This day you will be able to relax a little bit with the times, but not too much because you must take the catamaran to start the navigation back through the Pehoé Lake. You will have the privileged views of the Torres del Paine National Park again, if the weather allows it, and you will reach the Pudeto area, where you will take the bus back to the Puerto Natales Bus Station, where the activity ends.
