ITINERARY
Tour image

Day 1  Puerto Natales              
Puerto Natales is known as the gateway to Patagonia and the iconic Torres Del Paine National Park. Formerly a modest fishing port, this will be your home for the next few days.    

Day 2  Puerto Natales            
After breakfast, board a catamaran and head to the Balmacede and Serrano glaciers.  Along the way you’ll glide over the bright azure waters, stopping for views of penguin colonies, sea-lions and rushing waterfalls.  At the glaciers, take a short hike and soak up some jaw-dropping vistas.    

Day 3  Puerto Natales            
Today's your opportunity to explore Puerto Natales for yourself. Check out the ship museum, explore the historic centre, spot condors soaring overhead, discover the Milodon cave or just admire the vibrant colours that paint the sky at sunrise and sunset. There's also an option to visit an Estancia (working farm) where you can learn about the Gaucho way of life and soak up some scenery atop your very own horse.    

Day 4  Puerto Natales            
Today it's time for the headline event, Torres Del Paine National Park. Encompassing lakes, rivers, mountains and glaciers, the Chilean Torres Del Paine National Park is one of the most recognisable symbols of Patagonia’s natural beauty, and today you'll hike deep into this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.  

Day 5  Puerto Natales to El Calafate              
Today, after breakfast, make the crossing from Chile to Argentina as the locals do - by public bus, with plenty of opportunity to marvel at the staggering scenery all around you.

Day 6  El Calafate    
Today you'll visit the Los Glaciares National Park. Hike in the southern area of the park, before taking a tour of the Perito Moreno glacier on a boat, getting up close to the epic walls of ice and watching how its blueish tint dyes the sparkling lake below.

Day 7  El Calafate to El Chalten    
Known as the 'capital of trekking' El Chaltén is the perfect place to be immersed in unspoiled nature. Simply walk the magical forest trails and breathe the pure mountain air, or opt for an ice climbing lesson for an adventure like no other.    

Day 8  El Chalten    
Today is a full day to make the most of El Chaltén. Check out the rugged, sky-puncturing peaks of Mount Fitz Roy, and trek to the famous viewpoint of Laguana De los Tres. The sparkling blue lagoon, granite walls and pure white De los Tres glacier will provide a feast for the eyes unmatched anywhere in the world.    

Day 9  El Chalten to El Calafate    
Complete your journey with a transfer back to the hotel in El Calafate, where your trip ends on arrival.
