Itinerary
After pickup you will go on a scenic drive to Torres del Paine National Park. Upon arrival, stop for entrance fee payment and using restrooms facilities.
At Cerro Paine Reserve you´ll receive an informative talk from our guide and start the walking.
You´ll take the road to the Valley and walk on an old suspension bridge that crosses the Ascencio River. After a 2-hour hike, the Chileno Campsite is reached in the shade of a lenga forest. Stop for rest.
After an hour from the campsite you´ll reach the foot of the morraine that grants you access to the viewpoint, and the path increases its slope.
First, it goes next to the watershade and under the shadow of small trees, but higher up, the path is lost and must continue ascending among the rocks. Finally, at 700m.a.s.l., you´ll reach the eastern end of the lagoon where you´ll enjoy a wonderful view of the three towers: Central, Monzino & D’Agostini, and ‘Peineta’ and ‘Nido de Cóndores’ hills. After resting and having lunch with extraordinary views, you´ll begin the return along the same path to the starting point.
The driver will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel. You will arrive at Puerto Natales around 9.00 p.m.
