Four days to leave nothing out: the Paine massif by vehicle, the hike to the Base of the Towers, the face of Grey Glacier and the Última Esperanza fjords. It is the complete Puerto Natales stay, without moving your bags once.
★★★★★ 119 travellers rated these tours 5,0 out of 5
The Full Day covers by vehicle what you could not reach on foot in a week: Lake Sarmiento, Laguna Amarga, the Cuernos del Paine seen from Nordenskjöld, Salto Grande, the iceberg beach on Grey Lake and the Milodon Cave. It is the day that gives you the scale of the park.
The trek to the Base of the Towers is what no vehicle can give you: 22 kilometres and around nine hours up to the viewpoint you have seen in every photograph. It is demanding — medium-high difficulty — and that is why it goes on day two, once you know the park and know what you are climbing to see.
The Grey Lake navigation is the only way to stand in front of the glacier. You sail among icebergs up to the ice wall, and from the water the size of the Grey makes a different kind of sense.
And the fourth day leaves the park behind: the Última Esperanza fjords up to the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers, with the walk through Magellanic forest to the face of the Serrano. It is the contrast that closes the trip.
All four days run from the same base in Puerto Natales. You never move your bags.
