Day 3 - Trek in Torres del Paine

Today, we explore the jewel of Chilean Patagonia and one of the highlights of this shared adventure: Torres del Paine National Park.

After an early breakfast, we’ll set off toward the park, driving through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the region. After approximately one hour, we’ll arrive at the starting point of our trek. Here, our expert guide will provide a briefing with useful tips and insights to prepare us for the hike ahead.

Our journey begins as we cross a traditional wooden bridge suspended over the Ascencio River. From there, we’ll gradually ascend through the valley, surrounded by forests, rivers, and ever-changing views of the mountains.

As we continue, the trail becomes steeper, rewarding us with increasingly dramatic scenery. After a challenging but incredibly rewarding hike, we’ll reach one of the most iconic viewpoints in Patagonia: a glacial lake at the base of the towering granite peaks known as Torres del Paine—Monzino, d’Agostini, and Central.

Here, we’ll take a well-deserved break to rest, enjoy a picnic lunch, and fully take in this unforgettable, postcard-perfect setting.

Once we’ve recharged, we’ll begin our descent back to the starting point, closing a day filled with adventure, connection, and some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world.

Then we go back to our accommodation in Puerto Natales.

Day 5 - El Calafate – Perito Moreno Glacier

Today, we dedicate our time to one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders: the Perito Moreno Glacier.

This impressive glacier descends from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, one of the largest ice masses outside the polar regions, creating a truly unique and powerful landscape.

What makes Perito Moreno especially remarkable is that it is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing. This natural movement creates a spectacular phenomenon, where massive ice walls periodically rupture and collapse into the waters below.

As we approach the glacier, we’ll walk along a network of panoramic walkways that bring us just meters away from its towering ice walls. From here, you’ll be able to fully appreciate its immense scale, deep blue tones, and ever-changing shapes.

The experience is brought to life by the sounds of nature—the deep cracks of shifting ice and the thunderous roar of ice chunks breaking off and crashing into the turquoise waters of the lake.

A truly unforgettable encounter with one of Patagonia’s most iconic landscapes.

Along the way, we’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Argentino and the impressive Viedma Glacier. As we get closer, the iconic peaks of Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre will begin to appear on the horizon, setting the tone for what lies ahead.

We’ll make a short stop at the historic Parador La Leona, where you’ll have time to stretch your legs, visit the small museum and café, and learn about the fascinating story of explorer Francisco Moreno, who was once attacked by a cougar in this very area.

Upon arrival in El Chaltén—known as Argentina’s trekking capital—you’ll have the rest of the afternoon at leisure to explore the town, take in the fresh mountain air, or simply relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Day 7 - Trek Mount Fitz Roy, Laguna de los Tres

Today, we dive into one of the most iconic hiking experiences in Patagonia, in El Chaltén—widely known as the hiking capital of the region.

After breakfast, we’ll set off together along the Fitz Roy Trail, gradually ascending through the Río de las Vueltas valley. The trail begins with a steady climb, surrounded by forests, rivers, and open landscapes that slowly reveal the scale of this incredible region.

After a couple of hours, we’ll reach our first panoramic viewpoints of the Fitz Roy massif—an inspiring moment that gives us a glimpse of what’s ahead. From there, we’ll continue toward Río Blanco, the base camp used by climbers approaching the eastern side of the mountain.

The final stretch is the most challenging: a steep one-hour ascent that rewards us with one of the most breathtaking views in all of Patagonia. At the top, we’ll arrive at Laguna de los Tres, a striking turquoise lake set right at the foot of the towering granite spires of Fitz Roy and its surrounding glaciers.

We’ll take time here to rest, enjoy our lunch, and fully take in the magnitude of the landscape—an unforgettable shared moment at the heart of Patagonia with our fellow travelers, surrounded by one of the most iconic views in the world.

From the lower terraces to the summit, you are treated to breathtaking views of Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, and the dramatic glacial valley nestled between them. Reaching the summit rewards you with a glimpse of Paso del Viento and the peaks rising from the vast Patagonian Ice Field. Depending on the group’s pace, we will explore the scenic lower terraces or push for the summit—a long but steady ascent over scree.
