We will begin our excursion around 7:30 AM to head towards Torres del Paine National Park. Before arriving we will make two stops, where we will visit the Milodon Cave and the Cerro Castillo. The milodon is a herbivorous animal, in whose cave traces of the Patagonian primitive man were found. At Cerro Castillo, we will make a short stop, where you can enjoy the scenery and use the cafeteria services (not included). We will continue on our way to Torres del Paine National Park through the Laguna Amarga sector. From here, the landscape becomes a dream: we can see groups of guanacos and rheas near the Nordenskjold and Pehoé lakes. From here, we will take a 10-minute walk, where we can discover the beautiful Salto Grande, until we reach the Grey Lake sector where we will see the impressive glacier with the same name. Here we will make a stop of 1:30 hrs to be able to explore the place. After exploring the Lenga forest, we will be returning to our selected hotels at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Day 3 - Perito Moreno Glacier
This day will be the longest, but it will be very worthwhile as we will cross to Argentina to get to know the amazing Perito Moreno glacier. This glacier is unique, as it is one of the few in the world that stays in balance. We will leave very early in the morning 6:30 am from our hotels in Puerto Natales to begin our tour to the Argentine city of El Calafate. An expert guide awaits us here who will receive us and accompany us to Los Glaciares National Park. Here we will have free time to explore the catwalks, have lunch (not included) and depending on weather conditions, we can add to our visit a memorable navigation on Lake Argentino, where we can get even closer to the imposing glacier (not included). After our visit we will start our long journey back to the city of Puerto Natales, arriving at approximately 11 PM at our selected hotels.
