Day 1: Departure from Puerto Natales - Base Torres del Paine Trek - Campsite Serrano (22 km walk, 8 hours).

You will depart from Puerto Natales heading to Torres del Paine National Park along Route 9. You will arrive at the Laguna Amarga Gate, where you must register at the CONAF facilities, and then head to the Las Torres Reserve Welcome Center, where the guides will provide an induction prior to the trek to Base Torres Viewpoint and the they will accompany you during the 22 km round trip hike for approximately 8 hours, along a difficult trail.

Once at the Base Torres Viewpoint, 870 m above sea level, you will have time for lunch (box lunch) while enjoying the beautiful views of the South, Central, and North Towers, along with the Torres Lagoon and Glacier. You will then return along the same trail to the Welcome Center, where a vehicle will take you to Campsite Serrano. Here you can rest and then enjoy dinner, where you can choose from three main courses. You will spend the night at the campsite, which has fully-equipped tents.

Day 2: Lake Pehoé Navigation - Valle del Francés Trek(22 km walk, 8 hours).

After breakfast and receiving the box lunch for the day, you will take the vehicle to the Pudeto area to board the catamaran, which will take you across Lake Pehoé toward the Paine Grande Refuge pier. During the tour, you will enjoy excellent views of the Paine Massif and the Salto Grande waterfall.

Once on land, you will begin the approximately 8-hour, round-trip, 22-km hike along a medium-to-high-difficulty trail that borders Skottsberg Lake. Upon reaching the Italian campsite, you will have time to eat and rest before heading to the Valle del Francés (French Valley), where you will enjoy unique views of the Paine Massif from its southwest face, until you reach the viewpoint from which you can see the Francés Glacier in all its splendor.

After lunch (box lunch) and a rest, you will begin your return trip along the same trail that will take you back to the catamaran toward the Pudeto sector, where the vehicle will be waiting to take you to the Serrano sector. After dinner at the Campsite Serrano, you will spend the night at the camp.

Day 3: Lake Pehoé Navigation - Grey Lake Lookout Trek - Grey Lake Navigation - arrival in Puerto Natales (11 km walk, 4 hours).

After breakfast, you will leave the campsite and head toward the Pudeto area to wait for the catamaran crossing that will take you to the Paine Grande area, where you will begin the hike to Refugio Grey.

The trail, of moderate difficulty, passes through a ravine, follows the shores of Los Patos Lagoon, and offers constant views of the Paine Massif. As you get closer to the Grey area, you will also begin to enjoy views of Grey Lake and the glacier. Once at the refuge, you will have time to rest and have lunch before continuing on a 1-hour hike to the Grey Glacier Viewpoint.

After admiring the beauty of the landscape and taking some pictures, you will descend to the beach to wait for the catamaran that will take you across Grey Lake to the Pingo area. There, the vehicle will be waiting to take you back to Puerto Natales, where the activity ends.

Important notes​

• The itinerary may be modified on the day of the tour in the event of trail closures due to extreme weather conditions (such as whiteout conditions, snow accumulation, or wind gusts that make trekking impossible) or natural disasters. These measures are very uncommon; they are implemented only once or twice a year and are determined by CONAF, the agency that manages the park, exclusively to ensure the safety of visitors.
• The Grey Lake Navigation may be suspended due to weather conditions. In that case, no refund will be issued for this service, and tickets for the Pehoé Lake Navigation will be included instead. To take this navigation, you will need to walk the 11 km (6.8 miles) back to the Paine Grande Area (4 hours).
