Express Patagonia Program 4 days / 3 nights

We will depart from your hotel in Puerto Natales heading towards Torres del Paine National Park. Our first stop will be the Milodon Cave, a Natural Monument made up of three caves and a rock formation called the "Devil's Chair." This site is significant because, many years ago, remains of skin and bones from an extinct animal were discovered here: the Mylodon Darwini, a large herbivorous creature that went extinct thousands of years ago.

We will continue our journey until we reach the entrance gate of the park, the Laguna Amarga sector. From there, with clear skies, we will be able to capture a beautiful postcard of the Torres del Paine, the main attraction of the park and part of the Paine Mountain Range. Later, we will stop to admire the "Cuernos del Paine," a granite massif, known for the black color at the tips of its peaks, a result of contact with the magma from deep inside the Earth, which shaped it thousands of years ago.

We will then walk towards "Salto Grande," the largest waterfall in the park, approximately 15 meters high. It is known for its power to drain Lake Nordenskjold and feed Lake Pehoé.

Afterward, we will travel along the internal road, passing by the Paine River, where we will get our first clear view of the Cuernos del Paine. Continuing past Lake Pehoe, we will take a short walk to reach Salto Grande. In front of Lake Nordenskjold, we will reach the Cuernos viewpoint, where a 2-hour hike will offer you the most incredible view of the Cuernos del Paine and let you appreciate the vibrant colors and breathtaking nature surrounding the area.

Continuing on, the journey will take us to the Grey Lake sector, where we will take a short walk along the beach to observe the beautiful icebergs floating in the cold waters of the lake that shares the same name. At this point, you'll have some time to enjoy lunch with the most stunning views. After a few hours, we will return to Puerto Natales.

We will pick you up at your hotel in Puerto Natales and travel to Puerto Bories. On the way, we will see the buildings of the old local refrigeration plant, as well as small estancias.

Upon reaching the pier, we will board the boat that will take us to navigate through Bernardo O'Higgins National Park. The first glacier we will see is the Balmaceda Glacier, which descends from the mountain of the same name and is remarkable for its significant retreat. It is said that ten years ago, the icefall reached the water level. We will dock at Puerto Toro and walk about one kilometer through a beautiful native forest mainly consisting of Coigües, Murtilla de Magallanes, Chaura, and many lichens covering trunks and rocks.

We will explore the edge of a lake formed by the melting of this mountain glacier, admiring the different shapes and shades of the floating icebergs from the Serrano Glacier until we reach its impressive front wall.

In the afternoon, we will return to Puerto Natales by the same route.
