Day 1:
Departing from Puerto Natales, set out on your full-day adventure to the Torres del Paine National Park. Upon arriving at the park, make your first stop at the 1,000-year-old Milodón Caves, which were created by an enormous natural disaster. Marvel at the incredible anthropological value this site holds, believed to have been inhabited by the first human inhabitants on the continent who sought refuge from the elements and wild animals. Learn about how these prehistoric peoples lived in close proximity to the Milodón, an extinct herbivorous animal. After a 30-minute hike, make another stop at El Castillo Hill, where a cafeteria service is available.
Listen to an introduction to the Torres del Paine National Park and the area of Laguna Amarga (bitter lagoon). Discover the spectacular local wildlife that inhabits the park, such as red foxes and condors. A short distance ahead, observe the spectacular views of the Norsdenskjöld and Pehoé Lakes as you try to catch a glimpse of guancos (wild Andean llamas) and rheas (related to the ostrich or emu) that inhabit the area. The tour continues with a 10-minute hike to a stunning waterfall called Salto Grande (Big Jump).
Watch in awe as the mighty, 10-meter-high (33-foot-high) torrent emerges from Nordenskjold Lake and crashes into the surrounding landscape. Admire the breathtaking views of the imposing Mirador Cuernos mountain formation in the distance, known for its resemblance to a pair of animal horns. In the afternoon, continue the trek through the Grey Lake and glacier area. Explore the Grey Glacier ice floe and enjoy a relaxing walk through the lenga (a tree native to Patagonia) forest. Afterward, enjoy a well-deserved 1.5-hour break. At the end of your adventure, you will be returned to Puerto Natales and dropped off at the bus terminal or your hotel.
