Transfer to Torres del Paine and Hike the French Valley
The adventure begins right away this morning as you meet your group and guide at 7:00 am in Puerto Natales. From here, you’ll whiz past peaceful landscapes covered in flat pampas and dotted with authentic estancias as you transfer by vehicle to Torres del Paine National Park (2 hours). On arrival in the park, you’ll hop on a catamaran to cross Pehoe Lake to reach the trailhead for the French Valley hike. First up you’ll head for the French River, reaching the entrance to the French Valley soon after. Some light scrambling across a boulder field will be rewarded with views of the hanging glacier perched atop the valley as you make your way to the “Plateau” (viewpoint). From here you’ll spot the French Glacier and Paine Grande (3050m) off to one side and the horns of Los Cuernos rising on the other. You’ll then descend through evergreen beech forests to reach Lake Pehoe, known for its crystalline waters. Transfer by catamaran back across Lake Pehoe and then private transfer to the Riverside Camp where you’ll enjoy a delicious welcome dinner alongside your group and guide.
Distance 7-8 hours, 17km
Overnight Location Riverside Camp, Serrano River

You’ll enjoy a hearty picnic lunch on the peaceful shores of the Pingo River before hopping onboard a navigation boat to explore beautiful Grey Lake, sprinkled with blue-hued icebergs for the next 3 hours. After spending some time experiencing the face of Grey Glacier up close, you’ll return to land and transfer back to camp for another fun evening alongside new friends.
