Between Fjords and Peaks: Puerto Natales & Paine Towers

Early in the morning, we depart from Puerto Natales and set off on a breathtaking journey toward Torres del Paine National Park, located approximately 90 minutes away. The route takes us through the sweeping landscapes of the Patagonian steppe, with chances to spot native wildlife such as guanacos, rheas, foxes, and—if we’re lucky—even condors soaring overhead.

Upon arrival, we enter one of the most iconic and pristine protected areas in the world: Torres del Paine National Park, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its extraordinary natural beauty and ecological significance.

Throughout the day, we’ll explore some of the park’s most awe-inspiring highlights. We’ll stop at several viewpoints to capture stunning photographs of the Nordenskjöld Lake, with its turquoise waters and dramatic mountain backdrop, and admire the powerful Salto Grande, a thundering waterfall that connects the Nordenskjöld and Pehoé Lakes. One of the most unforgettable sights of the day will be the view of the Cuernos del Paine (the Horns of Paine)—a surreal mountain formation that defines the park’s jagged skyline.

Later, we continue to the Grey Lake viewpoint, where we’ll witness the hauntingly beautiful Grey Glacier in the distance, with floating icebergs dotting the lake’s surface—a powerful reminder of the forces that shaped this landscape over millennia.

As the sun begins to set over the mountains, we make our way back to Puerto Natales, arriving in the evening with hearts full of wonder and memory cards full of incredible images.

If you would like to do the full-day tour to Torres del Paine including the hike to the Las Torres viewpoint, please let us know in advance so we can arrange it for you.

This iconic trek is one of the most celebrated in Patagonia, taking you deep into the heart of the park through native lenga forests, river crossings, and scenic valleys. The final ascent is a challenging but rewarding climb up a rocky moraine, leading to a dramatic viewpoint facing the park’s most famous landmark: the three granite towers rising above a glacial lagoon.

The round-trip hike covers approximately 20 kilometers and takes about 8 to 9 hours, making it suitable for travelers with good physical condition and a spirit of adventure.

After breakfast, the rest of the day is at your leisure to explore Puerto Natales at your own pace.

We highly recommend joining the Balmaceda and Serrano Glacier navigation (not included)—a breathtaking boat trip through the Última Esperanza Fjord. Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of majestic mountains, dramatic icefalls, and a wide variety of Patagonian birdlife.

This remote section of Bernardo O’Higgins National Park is one of the most captivating regions in southern Chile, where untouched nature and silence create a truly unforgettable experience.

Optional Excvursion Recommended: Balmaceda and Serrano Navigation

This unforgettable navigation begins in Puerto Natales and takes you through the stunning Última Esperanza Fjord, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and Patagonian wilderness. Along the way, we pass by the historic buildings of the Frigorífico Bories, once one of the largest meat-processing plants in Patagonia.

During the journey, you'll have the chance to spot local wildlife, including a colony of imperial cormorants, a small group of sea lions, and a diverse range of native flora such as coigüe, cinnamon trees, lenga, ñirre, and the emblematic calafate bush.

The impressive Balmaceda Glacier can be admired directly from the boat. To reach the Serrano Glacier, we disembark and take a scenic 20-minute walk along a trail that follows the edge of a small glacial lake—formed by the glacier’s meltwaters.

On the return journey, we’ll enjoy a traditional Patagonian lunch at a local estancia located in the heart of Última Esperanza Bay—the perfect way to round off this day immersed in nature, history, and flavor

At the scheduled time, we transfer you to either Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas Airport, where our services come to an end. We hope you leave with unforgettable memories of your Patagonian journey.
