FULL DAY TORRES DEL PAINE
It is without a doubt the conventional full-day excursion most requested by the tourist who visits our city, so it is always convenient to book it in advance.
The minibuses begin to pick up the passengers in their respective accommodations in Puerto Natales from 08:00 hrs. From there begins the journey to one of the most beautiful parks in the world, passing through blue and turquoise steppes and lakes, crooked forests product of the Patagonian wind, rivers and waterfalls that adorn both the Gray glacier and the wonderful “Paine” mountain range that in Tehuelche language it means "blue".
On the tour you can see the so-called CUERNOS del Paine, from the Serrano and Pehoe Lake sectors, as well as the famous TORRES from sectors such as Sarmiento Lake and Laguna Amarga. Depending on the weather conditions, there are also short walks in the sectors of the Salto Grande (40 minutes, round trip) and the Gray Lake beach (one hour, round trip). This excursion also includes a visit to the main cave of the Milodon Cave Natural Monument, which lasts approximately 45 minutes.
For those who wish to carry out various activities in Torres del Paine, such as trekking, kayaking, sailing or horseback riding, it is recommended to start with this excursion, since it is a general panoramic visit to the entire park which will allow you to visualize all sectors in one day and recognize them on a map of the area.
