Itinerary of your trip Hiking The W Trail In Torres Del Paine, Self Guided Camping

  • Day 1 Admire Glacier Grey
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Admire Glacier Grey

      Early in the morning you will depart on a bus from Puerto Natales to Torres del Paine. The trip to the park entrance at Laguna Amarga is approximately two hours. After arriving to and registering yourself in the park you will take the catamaran across Lake Pehoe before you begin a four-hour hike through a small forest and then along Lake Grey. Most days this section of the park is very windy, due to openness provided by Lake Grey, Glacier Grey and the Southern Ice Field.  After about two hours of hiking you will get your first glimpse of Glacier Grey.  You will continue hiking for two more hours until arriving to Camp Grey where you will spend the night.  There are two optional excursions you can take today in the afternoon or tomorrow in the morning while at Refugio Grey โ€“ ice hiking on Glacier Grey or kayaking on Lake Grey.  Let us know if you are interested and we can make reservations.
