Itinerary
Pass by: Our excursion begins by leaving early in the morning from Puerto Natales towards the north bordering the Ceno Ultima Esperanza.
We will continue our journey towards the impressive Torres del Paine National Park, passing through a diverse landscape that ranges from steppe to deciduous forests. During the journey, we will have the opportunity to spot the varied local fauna, including the rhea and the guanaco, that populate these wild lands.
We will begin our experience by delving into the depths of history in the Cueva del Milodón, a cavern notable for its colossal dimensions and its archaeological importance. Here, we will explore its intricate passageways while discovering the fascinating remains of prehistoric species, such as the giant sloth "El Milodón", as well as other extinct animals that once populated this region.
Upon entering the park, we will be greeted by the imposing granite massifs that give the park its name, sculpted by the force of glacial ice over millions of years. Here, we will discover a series of lagoons of intense colors, surrounded by majestic mountains covered in ice and inhabited by abundant wildlife.
After a well-deserved rest and a delicious lunch, we will continue our adventure to Lake Gray, where we will witness a unique spectacle: the floating icebergs and the majestic glacier of the same name. From a panoramic point, we can contemplate the immensity of this glacial landscape and capture unforgettable moments.
Pass by: Finally, we will return to Puerto Natales, leaving behind these impressive landscapes but carrying in our hearts the memories of this unforgettable experience.

Traveler reviews
Fantastic views, many viewpoints, good guide
Great views on many viewpoints. Guide Jose was professional, enthousiastic, knowledgeable and helpful.
Improvements
Need to improve the condition of transportation (shredded windshield and shock absorber beating a lot) and safety (guide was guide and driver at the same time)
Overpriced and 45 minutes late!
The day started badly, with the driver arriving 45 minutes late. It then got worse. Although the tour description said that admission fees were free, they were not. We had to pay $35 to enter the park, and another $10 for Milodon Cave. This tour operator does not actually run the tour, it subcontracts. So we were on a bus with 13 other people, all of whom had paid about half the price that we did. The tour operator declined to help offset the additional charges. So, yes, the tour is good. But, find another tour operator, as this one is extremely over priced.
