ITINERARY
We will leave Puerto Natales to the north, and after a half an hour trip we will arrive at our first stop: the Cueva del Milodón Natural Monument. We will visit the main cave of a group of three caves, where more than 100 years ago were found the remains of this prehistoric animal.
The trip continues towards the Torres del Paine National Park, enjoying the view of the Tenerife mountain, Sofía Lagoon, Porteño Lake, Prat Mountain Range, Mesa Hill and Toro Mountain Range. After a 2 hours trip, we will arrive in the Lago Grey viewpoint, located in the lake’s south coast. From there, we will have a spectacular view of the Grey Glacier, the Lago del Toro (Toro Lake) and the Paine Range (also known as Paine Massif). We will make a small hike by the lake’s shore, and if the conditions allow it, we will arrive to the Grey’s Peninsula viewpoint.
After a break for lunch (not included), we will go to the Salto Grande waterfall viewpoint, where the glaciers of the Paine River unload its fast-flowing waters, then the Nordenskjöld Lake viewpoint. At the end of the tour, we will visit the Cascada Paine, the Amarga Lagoon and the Sarmiento Lake viewpoint, returning back to Puerto Natales through Villa Cerro Castillo.
*The viewpoint stops can be modified the same day of the tour because of adverse weather conditions.
