Overview
About this journey
Patagonia on Foot is our most active journey. From Puerto Natales we travel into Torres del Paine and stay at two lodges inside the park, which means more time on the trail and less on the road. Daily hikes range from four to eight hours.
Highlights include the climb to the base of the Torres, the French Valley and a boat trip to Grey Glacier. There is also time to visit a working estancia, meet gauchos and enjoy a traditional lamb asado. Evenings are spent by the fire with Chilean wine and the company of your group.
Highlights
Hike to the base of the granite Torres
