Accommodations in Punta Arenas (Urban Radio)
05:00 – 05:40am
This is our longest excursion, lasting approximately 14 to 15 hours in total. Pick-up at hotels in Punta Arenas starts very early, around 05:00 AM, to maximize daylight hours inside the park. You can expect to be back in Punta Arenas between 08:00 PM and 09:00 PM.
Due to the distance (approx. 220 miles each way), we spend about 6 to 7 hours in total on the road. However, we make strategic stops in Puerto Natales and Villa Cerro Castillo to stretch and grab snacks. Once inside Torres del Paine, we spend several hours visiting the main viewpoints and taking short, low-difficulty nature walks.
The entrance fee to Torres del Paine National Park is not included and must be purchased in advance via the official website (pasesparques.cl). Regarding meals, the tour typically includes a breakfast stop and options for lunch (either a lunch box or a restaurant stop). Please check your specific booking for detailed inclusions.
While the walks inside the park are physically easy, the long duration of the bus ride can be tiring for small children or travelers with back issues. We recommend this tour for passengers who are comfortable with long travel days and want to see the park’s highlights without staying overnight outside of Punta Arenas.
Reservations can be canceled and/or modified free of charge up to 72 hours before the start of the Tour, after which 100% of the rate will be charged. Passengers who do not attend and have a confirmed reservation (no show) will be charged 100% of the service (no show).

Between 13:30 and 14:00 we arrive at Amarga Lagoon, gateway to Torres del Paine National Park. We start walking to a viewpoint, the Nordenskjöld, lookout point where you’ll find an amazing view of the Paine horns, plus a mini trekking (20 minutes) to the big leap, a stunning high flow waterfall that links the Nordenskjöld and Pehoe lakes.
Back to the tour we will find the Pehoe Lake, for lovers of photography, this is probably the most spectacular view of the entire tour.
We continue traveling until the we arrive at the Lake Grey, a 20 minute walk through a suspension bridge and a friendly path, will lead us to admire the ice floes off the Grey Glacier coming to the shores of this lake.
Following this, at about 18:00 hrs we begin our way back, arriving in Punta Arenas between 22:30 and 23:00 hrs.
It is worth mentioning that there may be additional stops requested by you or by the guide, in order to observe and / or photograph local wildlife such as condors, guanacos, ñandús and if we are very lucky even cougars.
