We begin our Full Day Torres del Paine tour by picking you up at the hotel for a short city tour of Puerto Natales. Then we continue to our first stop: the famous Milodon Cave Natural Monument.
There we will visit the largest cave of a set of three caves, which inside keep more than 100 years of history and remains of prehistoric animals. In this place were found remains of the herbivorous mammal Mylodon Darwini, an animal of the Pilosa order that includes anteaters, tamanduas and sloths, which also probably became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene.
We will continue enjoying the amazing view of Laguna Sofia, Lake Porteño, Cordillera Prat, Cerro Mesa, Sierra del Toro and Sierra Ballena. After 2 hours of travel, we will arrive at the viewpoint of Lago del Toro. From there, we have a spectacular view of the lake and the Paine Mountain Range, also known as Paine Massif.
Hike along the Grey Lake beach area
The Full Day Torres del Paine continues in the sector of Lago Grey where we will take a short walk of approximately 20 minutes to reach the shore of Lago Grey. From there we will have another perspective of the Paine Massif and the Paine horns, if the cloudy conditions allow it.
The total distance is about 3 km over easily accessible terrain. However, the hike is optional for those who do not want or do not feel up to it. Afterwards we will have a free break for lunch in a cafeteria, enjoying the beautiful views of Torres del Paine Park.
Waterfall Salto Grande in Torres del Paine
Our tour of Torres del Paine continues and then we will head to the Salto Grande waterfall, where we will visit one of the viewpoints of Lake Pehoe, where the glaciers of the Paine River discharge their plentiful waters. At the end of the excursion, we will visit Laguna Amarga and the Sarmiento Lake viewpoint and return to the lodge.
