Discover Torres del Paine’s W Circuit: Grey Glacier, French Valley, and the iconic Base of the Towers. Enjoy glacial lakes, majestic mountains, and an unforgettable Patagonian adventure.
At the indicated time, our local representatives will pick you up from the airport and take you to the selected hotel (Regular service - driver only).
Overnight in local hotel.
Meals Included: none.
After breakfast at the hotel in Puerto Natales, you must go to the bus terminal to take the 7:00am bus (we recommend being at least 10 minutes before departure) to go to Torres del Paine National Park.
You'll travel through beautiful landscapes until you reach the main entrance of Laguna Amarga, where you need to register with CONAF (park rangers). Here you can transfer to “Transporte Las Torres”, who will take you to the Welcome Center. You register at the Cerro Paine Reserve and, after about 5 minutes of walking, you will arrive at Torre Central where you must check in, either at a shelter or camping, before starting your trekking.
Today's hike begins in the Ascencio Valley, enjoying its extensive forests. During the final ascent, you cross an immense field of giant rocks until you reach one of the most emblematic viewpoints in the world, the famous Base Torres viewpoint. At a height of 900 meters above sea level, marvel at the 3 granite towers (north, central and south) and the brilliant turquoise glacial lake at its feet.
Take beautiful photos and enjoy your box lunch before returning the same way back to Torre Central. After a long day and enjoying the Towers, treat yourself to dinner at the refuge.
Overnight at the refuge.

Enjoy breakfast and then request your box lunch to start the walk deep in the park to the Los Cuernos or Francés refuge. During this walk you will pass through beautiful crystalline streams and you can admire the glaciers that hang from Mount Almirante Nieto at 2,670 meters. You can see the majestic condors soaring from above and skirt the fascinating waters of Lake Nordenskjöld.
Continue along the trail until you reach Refugio Los Cuernos or Domo Francés, where you can relax all night long.

We recommend starting early! This hike will take you to the heart of Torres del Paine National Park.
After breakfast, order your box lunch and get ready for a day of amazing Patagonian landscapes. After 2 hours of walking you will pass by the French campsite and you will arrive at the entrance of the French Valley. You can leave your backpack at the Italian camp, where the park rangers are located, and begin your ascent to the French Valley.
Go up large rocks and then continue through the forest until you reach the French viewpoint. Here you will be rewarded with incredible views of Los Cuernos, turquoise glacial lagoons and amazing hanging glaciers that fall down the east side of Paine Grande Mountain (3,050 meters above sea level).
If you're lucky, you can hear the roaring sound of the glacier and the water falling, and it's also very common to witness an avalanche. Enjoy your box lunch and a well-deserved rest. Descend along the same path back to the Italian camp. From here, walk to the Paine Grande refuge (2.5 hours).
Take it easy since it's practically flat.
In the evening you can enjoy a delicious dinner at the refuge.

As you continue progressing, you'll begin to see parts of the vast Southern Ice Fields, as well as the ice floes of Lake Grey. After passing the sometimes very windy viewpoint, the path descends through a mountainous forest until reaching the Grey refuge.
From here, if you continue walking for about 10 minutes, you will arrive at the Grey Glacier viewpoint, where you will find yourself face to face with this massive blue ice.

I had a wonderful trip and would do it again in a heartbeat! Eva helped me plan everything and was always available before and during my trip to answer questions. She tailored accommodations and travel times within the country to make my visit relaxed and enjoyable at the same time. I felt a sincere desire in her to provide me with the best experience. I also appreciated the driver they chose for me, Eduardo. He was not only trustworthy but also very knowledgeable about the area highlights and history. I would highly recommend Argentina Pura and Eva to anyone who would like to visit Argentina.
It has been a positive experience working with Argentina Pura from the first engagement when I filled the form on their website till the time we’ve returned back home. They were quick to respond and helped to tailor a well planned trip. It was challenging to include all the destinations I asked for in the time we had for the trip, and yet they managed to do it in the most efficient and enjoyable way. What was more amazing was how smoothly everything ran. All the flights were on time, the transfers, the excursions. It was well organized and the team was highly professional, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English extremely well. We had the most amazing time in Argentina and big part of it is thanks to the professionalism of this agency. Highly recommended!
What an amazing experience! The team put together a 3-day program for me to visit and experience the true Patagonia. Perfect organization - special thanks to Eva Echeveste for her patience and guidance - friendly staff, which made this dream of mine come true! Thank you so much!
