W Trek in 3 Days Tour Itinerary

Day 1 Transfer to Torres del Paine and Hike the French Valley

The adventure begins right away this morning as you meet your group and guide at 7:00 am in Puerto Natales. From here, you’ll whiz past peaceful landscapes covered in flat pampas and dotted with authentic estancias as you transfer by vehicle to Torres del Paine National Park (2 hours).

On arrival in the park, you’ll hop on a catamaran to cross Pehoe Lake to reach the trailhead for the French Valley hike. First up you’ll head for the French River, reaching the entrance to the French Valley soon after. Some light scrambling across a boulder field will be rewarded with views of the hanging glacier perched atop the valley as you make your way to the “Plateau” (viewpoint). From here you’ll spot the French Glacier and Paine Grande (3050m) off to one side and the horns of Los Cuernos rising on the other. You’ll then descend through evergreen beech forests to reach Lake Pehoe, known for its crystalline waters.

Transfer by catamaran back across Lake Pehoe and then private transfer to the Riverside Camp where you’ll enjoy a delicious welcome dinner alongside your group and guide.

Day 2 Hike the Pingo Valley and Grey Glacier Boat Navigation

Rise this morning ready to bear witness to a sky painted in the pastel colours of a Patagonian dawn. Fuel up with breakfast and then set out with your group and guide on a transfer to the trailhead.

Today’s hike to the Pingo Valley has 3 hours of breathtaking scenery in store, with incredible viewpoints dotting the trail each step of the way. You’ll enjoy a hearty picnic lunch on the peaceful shores of the Pingo River before hopping onboard a navigation boat to explore beautiful Grey Lake, sprinkled with blue-hued icebergs for the next 3 hours.

After spending some time experiencing the face of Grey Glacier up close, you’ll return to land and transfer back to camp for another fun evening alongside new friends.

Stand in awe as you look out over the towers from 900 m above sea level. Enjoy lunch here and of course lots of photos before descending the same path. Where the path ends, a private transfer awaits to whisk you back to Puerto Natales where this short break in Torres del Paine comes to an end.
