After breakfast, your guide and private driver collect you from your hotel in Puerto Natales. The drive crosses the windswept pampas and follows the coastline to one of Patagonia’s most beautiful ranches—Estancia Lazo.

Dating back to the early 1900s, this working cattle ranch offers incredible views of the Paine Massif and the serene Laguna Verde. Your hike begins here, tracing peaceful trails lined with wild orchids, calceolarias, and neneos, while condors soar overhead. 

As you gain elevation, views widen toward valleys, lakes, and distant mountain chains. Reach the Toro Lake Lookout—a breathtaking 180° vantage of Lake Toro, the Serrano River, and the peaks of Donoso and Ferrier. Descend gradually to the Weber Bridge, where your driver awaits. 

In the evening, settle into Chile Nativo Riverside Camp. A welcome dinner and the sound of the nearby river offer a peaceful close to your first day.

The day starts with a short walk-through beech forest, home to woodpeckers and parakeets, on the way to the dock on Lake Grey.

Board the boat and navigate through a surreal landscape of blue icebergs. As you approach the towering face of Grey Glacier, take time to absorb its striations and hues. With luck, witness the thrilling collapse of a glacial wall into the lake. On your return journey, spot the “ice mushrooms”, shaped by fierce wind and time.

Enjoy your lunch box upon disembarkation, then begin a rewarding hike on a lesser-known trail. The path provides open views of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, distant glacial tongues, and, occasionally, sightings of the shy huemul (Andean deer) hiding in the brush.

Return to camp for another cozy night of storytelling, food, and rest.

After breakfast, your day begins with a drive along the Paine River to Pudeto. Here, begin a gentle round-trip hike past the powerful Salto Grande waterfall, where Lake Nordenskjöld pours its glacial waters into Lake Pehoé.

Walk along boardwalks overlooking turquoise lakes with the Cuernos and Paine Grande rising dramatically in the background. Traverse an open landscape marked by the 2005 forest fire, then follow the black shores of Nordenskjöld Lake toward the Cuernos lookout—an ideal place to rest, snack, and take in views of the French Valley and surrounding peaks. 

After returning to Pudeto, a short transfer brings you to your next trail: a short, steep hike to the Condor Lookout. The final ascent rewards you with an expansive view of the massif and its lakes, rivers, and summits—one of the park’s most striking perspectives. Return to camp for dinner and a well-earned night’s sleep.

After breakfast, head to the Sarmiento ranger station to begin a scenic trail linking Sarmiento Lake to Laguna Amarga. This wildlife-rich corridor is a favorite for photographers: expect to see guanacos, ñandus, and numerous nesting birds in their natural habitat.

Midway, stop beneath a rock shelter where cave paintings over 6,000 years old tell the story of Patagonia’s earliest hunter-gatherers. The trail continues with ever-changing views of the Paine Massif and, perhaps, signs of puma—drawn here by the abundance of guanacos.

In the afternoon, a second transfer takes you past Estancia Laguna Amarga. Here, herds of guanacos graze the rolling steppe beneath a skyline of craggy peaks. Pause at Paine Waterfall before continuing to Laguna Azul.

The brilliant blue lake and its surrounding wetlands are perfect for birdwatching and a reflective stroll. With the Paine Towers in the distance and wildlife all around, this is a quiet yet vivid end to the day.

In the morning, set off toward Puerto Natales with a final stop in the Milodon Cave sector—home to one of Patagonia’s richest geological and archaeological landscapes.

Begin with sweeping views and photo ops before arriving at a private reserve, where condor colonies nest above lenga forests. Continue to the upper plateau to see rock shelters with ancient cave paintings and a 70m² cavern filled with stalactites—explored with headlamps and quiet reverence. Move along to “Two Horseshoes,” another ancient eave site with more rock art left by nomadic native peoples. Learn how they once lived, hunted, and gathered in these same windswept hills.

Conclude the morning with a traditional Patagonian lamb barbecue—a hearty meal to close your journey. Then, visit the Milodon Cave Natural Monument, where fossil remains of giant sloths and prehistoric animals were discovered.
Finally, your private transfer returns you to Puerto Natales with memories that span deep time and vast landscapes.
