Once inside the Torres del Paine National Park you will be taken to different lookouts to see the majestic Macizo Paine. You will take a thirty minute walk to visit the Salto Grande waterfall where you will be able to see Cuernos del Paine (Paine Horns). The day concludes after a visit to Lago Grey where you will trek for an hour to view Glacier Grey and icebergs.

The following day will start with a cycle along the border of the Canal Señoret until you reach Puerto Natales. The first stop is Costanera Pedro Montt, to take in the spectacular view and visit the fishermen on the pier. From here you will head to the inner part of the city and to the Plaza de Armas, the historical Municipal building, which was built during the Magellan cattle fever, mixing a British Post-Victorian style with the traditions of this area. You will also have the opportunity to meet local artisans, visit workshops and listen to their stories.
