The day begins at 7:00am with a pickup from your hotel in Puerto Natales. Your guide and transfer team take you north on rugged roads, passing open pampas, turquoise lagoons, and the wildlife of the region: herds of guanacos, grey foxes, black-necked swans, and pink-hued flamingos.

On arrival at Torres del Paine National Park, you'll board a catamaran that glides across the shimmering waters of Lake Pehoé to reach your starting point. Today’s round-trip hike leads you into the heart of the French Valley, where hanging glaciers pour from jagged peaks into a sweeping natural amphitheater.

The trail gradually climbs into an alpine wonderland—a Japanese garden of twisted roots, stone steps, and lichen-covered forest. At the viewpoint known as the Plateau, you’re encircled by the granite giants of the Paine Massif: On one side is the French Glacier and Paine Grande (3050m); while on the other, La Espada, La Hoja, La Máscara, and the main and north 'horns' of Los Cuernos arch upwards. In the upper section of the valley, Mt Catedral and Mt Fortaleza loom like turrets above the landscape. Take your time to enjoy lunch with a view.

You descend via the same trail, take the return catamaran, and travel by van to Serrano Camp. There, a welcome dinner awaits inside a cozy dining dome, before you settle in to your private luxury tent beside the rushing Serrano River.

Transfer duration: 2hrs to the national park, plus 35mins to the camp

Enjoy a fresh breakfast in camp before a short transfer to the trailhead for your morning hike through the Pingo Valley. This
scenic trail winds through native forest and ends at Cascada Los Salmones, a hidden waterfall where salmon are sometimes seen leaping upstream.

Return along the same trail, keeping an eye out for woodpeckers and the elusive huemul—an endangered Andean deer native to this region. Stop for a relaxing riverside picnic on the banks of the Pingo River before continuing your adventure on water.

In the afternoon, board a catamaran that will carry you through a corridor of floating blue icebergs to the immense face of
Glacier Grey. The glacier stretches for miles into the distance, its surface carved by millennia of ice and wind. If conditions are right, you may witness a calving event—an immense roar followed by crashing ice.

On the way back, pass beneath the sculpted "ice mushrooms" that cap the peaks of Paine Grande. By early evening, return to Serrano Camp for a well-deserved gourmet dinner and one last night beneath the Patagonian stars. 

Note: Due to weather or boat schedule, the day’s itinerary may be reversed. If necessary, your guide may choose an
alternate trail to optimize the experience. You will be informed of this by your guide in advance.

After an early breakfast, travel across the park as the rising sun lights up the peaks. You’ll arrive at the base of the Towers trail and begin one of Patagonia’s most legendary hikes. Follow the Ascencio River into the valley, where the sounds of flowing water and birdsong echo through the beech forest. An hour in, reach a scenic lookout with views of waterfalls and distant glaciers, before continuing the uphill trek. The final climb is over a massive glacial moraine—your reward awaits at the top. At 900m, Las Torres pierce the sky, towering above a pale green lagoon. This view is pure nature: the iconic granite towers, shaped by wind and time, stand in silent grandeur. Take your time to rest, eat lunch, and take it all in before beginning the descent. Return to your group vehicle and enjoy the two-hour drive back to Puerto Natales, arriving in the evening with your heart full and your legs well-earned.
