Pingo Valley Trek

Day 1: Hike into Pingo Valley

A guide will pick you up at your final destination in the Torres del Paine and take you to park authority guard post near Lago Grey. You will be able to hike up to the Mount Ferrier lookout, which is a two-hour hike uphill. From here you have a beautiful view of the massif of Torres del Paine. Back at the Guarderia Grey you go to the nearby Pingo Camp at the entrance of the Pingo Valley; the hike is about thirty minutes.

Accommodation: Camp Pingo

Meals: Lunch, dinner

Day 2: Enjoy Pingo and Zapata Glacier

After a delicious camp-side breakfast you will begin a hike that leads you through this solitary and remote valley in the direction of the Southern Patagonian Ice field. During the hike you will be able to enjoy a view of the massif of Torres del Paine. If you are lucky you can see one of the rare, endangered South Andean deer (Huemul)! The hike to Camp Zapata is about 4 hours.

Accommodation: Camp Zapata

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 3: Explore the area!

After breakfast you will start out without your packs and begin exploring the valley! Today you will hike through this wild area and reach the Southern Patagonian Icefield. To be so close to this huge ice mass, the biggest ice field outside of the poles, is an amazing experience! There has also been a prehistoric marine animal found here (similar to a dolphin) and if you look closely you might find some of the historic remains of the animal! In the evening you will return back to Camp Pingo gather your things and continue down to Guarderia Grey to take a transfer to Puerto Natales where you will say goodbye to our guide and finish your trip.
