After breakfast in the hotel in Puerto Natales, our guide will greet us to take a semi-private van that will bring us to Torres del Paine National Park. 

We will travel through the vast Patagonian plains before arriving at Laguna Amarga where our guide will register our group in CONAF. We will continue until arriving at the Welcome Center and Refuge Torre Central from where we will begin our hike towards the base of the towers. 

We will begin our trek in the Ascensio Valley, meandering through windy hills and extensive forests of beech trees. During the final ascent we will pass through a huge rock field until arriving at one of the most emblematic look-out spots in the world, the base of the towers. At an altitude of 900 meters, we will gaze in wonder at the steep granite walls of the towers (north, central and south) alongside the vibrant turquoise glacial lake.

We will have free time at the base of the towers  to take photos and have lunch before we return on the same route to the Refuge Torre Central where we will have dinner and a well-deserved rest.

During the trek we will enjoy the fresh smell, organic and earthy that you will notice when we enter the old beech forest. Feel the wind whistle through the trees and hear the sounds of the Magellean carpenter birds. 

We will continue on a trail bordering the Los Perros River until we hike up a giant hill where we will see spectacular mountainous landscapes that will take your breath away. Be amazed by the incredible views of the Los Perros Glacier and the lagoon.

Prepare yourself for the most challenging but most gratifying day on the circuit the O of Torres del Paine! 

After an early breakfast in the refuge we will begin our route through roots of twisted trees and muddy puddles beneath a canopy of dark green beech trees. We will leave the forest and begin to climb boulders and rocky fields (sometimes snow-covered) until we arrive at the highest point of the O circuit in Torres del Paine, the famous John Gardner pass (1,200 meters). You will be embraced by the wild winds of Patagonia while feeling inspired by the massive Ice Field of Southern Patagonia an expanse of dazzling white and blue. 

Continuing our descent, next to a giant wall of ice, we will pass by Camping El Paso and the impressive hanging bridges of Torres del Paine.

We will begin the hike on dry terrain that borders the enchanting blue waters of Skottsberg Lake. After about 2.5 hours of hiking we will arrive at the CONAF Guard Station Italiano, or Camping Italiano, where we will begin our route towards Valley Francés. 

We will begin to climb up a big rock field and continue along a tree-lined ridge until arriving at the Francés look-out point. Here we will be rewarded with amazing views of Los Cuernos, turquoise lagoons with stunning hanging blue glaciers that fall on the face of Paine Grande (3,050 mts). If we are lucky, we will hear the thunderous sound of water and ice falling, this area being known as a common place to witness avalanches. 

We will have time to rest and enjoy a box lunch. 

We will return on the same route to the CONAF Guard Station Italiano and then to Refuge Paine Grande where we will board a catamaran. After a relaxing sail for 35 minutes we will arrive at the opposite shore where we will take semi-private transportation that will bring us back to Puerto Natales.
