Chile, Torres del Paine Adventure Tour

Meet and greet your private English speaking guide upon arriving at Santiago International Airport, and transfer to your downtown hotel to drop off your luggage.

After you've settled at the hotel, go on a guided bike tour of Santiago, and visit the urban green spaces and cultural highlights of vibrant downtown. Take in La Moneda's elegant neoclassical facades, and continue biking to Plaza de Armas, the bustling heart of Santiago, enveloped by government offices and historical buildings.

Transfer to Santiago International Airport for your 3.5-hour flight to Punta Arenas, the capital of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica - Chile's southernmost region.

From the airport, transfer to Puerto Natales on a 3-hour journey, 250 km northwest of Punta Arenas on Seno Última Esperanza. A port city in southern Patagonia, Puerto Natales is the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park, and a launching pad for your outdoor adventures in the Chilean wild. Spend the afternoon at leisure on your first day in Puerto Natales.

Today is dedicated to a 5-hour hike through the beech and coihue carpeted forests of Torres del Paine National Park with your knowledgeable guide. In a private transfer from your hotel, make your way to Estancia Lazo on a 1 hour 50 min journey. In operation since 1894, this 14000-hectare working cattle ranch on the tranquil shores of Laguna Verde has been transformed into a rustic lodge for visitors. From this remote region on the eastern edges of the park, hike along a relatively flat trail and keep your eyes peeled for signs of wildlife, as condors and caranchos circle the skies, herds of guanacos graze the hills, and brightly colored Austral parakeets chirp melodically from treetops. Reach Honda Lagoon and continue to the Toro Lake lookout, where you'll marvel at a spellbinding collage of snow-capped peaks, rushing rivers, and mighty glaciers. With your guide, identify the meandering Grey, Serrano and Paine Rivers, and Tyndall Glacier. Then make your way down to Weber bridge, where you'll be transported to your campsite for the evening.

See a different side of Torres del Paine National Park today as you explore its soaring mountains and bright blue icebergs on a 6-hour journey by horseback. Trot across rushing rivers, mirror-like lakes, and wetlands alongside ever-changing views of the Paine Massif and the massive glaciers of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Enjoy lunch with a side of views when you reach the Tyndall Glacier lookout point, and return to your campsite via a different path, riding along the shores of the Serrano River and past its namesake waterfall.

After an early breakfast, make your way to Grey Lake in a private transfer to meet your kayaking guide. Take part in a safety orientation, then spend the next 2 hours exploring the lake. Experience the tranquility of the Chilean Patagonia as you paddle among crystal blue glaciers against a stunning backdrop of the Paine massif, and contemplate the whimsical shapes of the floating icebergs, sculpted by the sun and wind. Leave Grey Lake by paddling down its namesake river until it joins the Serrano River, and unwind over dinner at your campsite after an active day on the waters.

Enjoy the remainder of your afternoon at leisure.
