This Luxury W-Trek is a Patagonia classic and the best way to see the highlights of Torres del Paine National Park. Hike right to the base of the spectacular Towers del Paine, see the giant southern ice fields, and experience Patagonian's famous winds. The first day starts with the journey from Puerto Natales to the park entrance and overnight at the relaxing Rio Serrano Hotel & Spa. We start the trek the following morning with a hike up to the Tower's lookout point for amazing views of the world famous granitic spires. The next day our trek continues along the shores of Lago Pehoé to the beautiful French Valley which features excellent views of the surrounding hanging glaciers, mountain lakes, and several peaks. The last day of the trek takes you to the Glacier Grey viewpoint where you will get a firsthand look at the massive Patagonian Ice Field where you will see icebergs calving directly from the glacier into the lake. Our adventure ends with a 2-hour drive back to Puerto Natales.
