Operator's Itinerary

This itinerary is an example of how you could spend your time on this all-inclusive experience. Please see the full list of day excursions on the excursions page.


Day 1: Transfer from Puerto Natales; Tierra Patagonia Hotel

After your transfer from Puerto Natales, you can spend the afternoon settling into the surroundings at the Tierra Patagonia Hotel. A transfer from Punta Arenas or El Calafate can be arranged at an extra cost.

Unwind in the hotel's swimming pool, jacuzzi, or sauna; book a massage for later in the trip; or go for a relaxed wander around the area, discovering some of the local wildlife.

The location of the hotel showcases some of the best views of the Torres del Paine massif, whetting your appetite for the exploration and adventures that lie ahead.

If time allows, you may be able to fit in an afternoon excursion today.

In the evening, meet other travellers in the bar over a Pisco Sour – the Chilean national drink – and enjoy a hearty dinner in the restaurant.

Meals: Dinner

Accommodation: Tierra Patagonia Hotel


Day 2: Boat trip and trek to Glacier Grey viewpoint; Tierra Patagonia Hotel

The day begins with a scenic transfer through the park followed by a short walk, before embarking on a catamaran that will take you up to the northern shores of Lake Grey.

From here the path ascends through lenga forests and over rocky outcrops, towards Glacier Grey. One of the highlights is reaching the viewpoint from where you get superb sights of the Southern Patagonian Icefield, and the icebergs that float on the surface of the lake.

You return along a different path to Lake Pehoe where you will take another catamaran back across the lake to meet your transfer to Tierra Patagonia Hotel.

Difficulty: Medium/easy

Transfer time: 1hr 20mins

Length of hike: 7hrs

Meals: Breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner 

Accommodation: Tierra Patagonia Hotel


Day 3: Boat trip and trek to the French Valley; Tierra Patagonia Hotel

The day begins and ends with a very scenic 30min boat ride across Lake Pehoe for this excellent roundtrip hike.

You'll start by following a meandering path between the slopes of Paine Grande and the shores of Lake Skottsberg. There are stunning views of the Cuernos (Horns) on the way. After reaching Italian Camp, you'll cross a bridge over the French River and head up the French valley to a clearing where you can take in views of the absolutely mesmerising French Glacier.

You will return to Lake Pehoe on the same trail and return to the luxury of Tierra Patagonia Hotel.

Difficulty: High  

Transfer time: 45mins

Length of hike: 7hrs

Meals: Breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner  

Accommodation: Tierra Patagonia Hotel


Day 4: Trek to the base of the Towers; Tierra Patagonia Hotel

This world-famous hike demands stamina, but the rewards are the breath-taking views of the three granite towers. This hike involves a steep ascent for an hour, bordering the Rio Ascensio until reaching the Paso de los Vientos. From here it's a 30min hike until you reach Campamento Chileno where you can have a short break.

The walk then continues to ascend through the forest for 90mins, gaining altitude very quickly and with amazing views of the geological formations in the area such as folds, fractures and granite intrusions. The last hour is the most challenging and difficult, where the trail winds its way up an exposed moraine section of loose rock.

On arrival at the viewpoint, you'll have an awe-inspiring view of the Torres del Paine and, if the weather allows, you can have lunch with this fantastic view.

We will descend along the same trail – it takes about 4hrs to reach the starting point from where we return to Hotel Tierra Patagonia.

Difficulty: High  

Transfer time: 45mins

Length of hike: 9hrs  

Meals: Breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner 

Accommodation: Tierra Patagonia Hotel


Day 5: Transfer to Puerto Natales

Enjoy a hearty breakfast before being taken to Puerto Natales. If your flight schedule allows, you may be able to squeeze in one last excursion, or a spa treatment at the hotel.

A transfer to Punta Arenas or El Calafate can be arranged at an extra cost.

Meals: Breakfast

As we were nearing the end of the Base of the Towers hike in Torres del Paine, I wasn't sure my legs were going to let me finish the hike. I then looked up and saw a condor soaring above my head. It was awe-inspiring to see this majestic creature against such an incredible backdrop. It was as if the condor was there to encourage me on, my energy spiked and my body was ready to continue to the base. What a magical experience!
