Itinerary
Day 1: Puerto Natales: Gateway to Patagonia
Vast and rugged wilderness await you in Patagonia with its pristine landscapes, truly a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Catch glimpses of mountain peaks and glistening glaciers as you touch down in the small port town of Puerto Natales. As night settles, feast on fresh seafood and feel the anticipation build as you dream of the exploration to come. We welcome you to Chile, to the wild experience that is Patagonia, and we invite you to strap in for the ride.
Arrive to Puerto Natales at any time and catch an included transfer to the hotel. Meet your fellow group members at the welcome meeting in the evening and get all the important information about the adventure ahead. Afterwards, head to a nearby restaurant for a delicious welcome dinner with new friends.
Day 2: Torres del Paine: Mirador Gret Lookout Hike
Gaze across to Torres del Paine National Park as you tighten up your laces and take the first few steps along the trail. Starting at Mirador Grey, a viewpoint located outside the park near Lago Toro, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the Paine massif and the impressive Grey Glacier. Breathe in the fresh air and soak in the spectacular views across the pampas (grasslands) as you hike to your lodgings that will serve as your base for the next few days.
An early breakfast will be available at the hotel before transferring via private vehicle to a viewpoint called Mirador Grey, where today's hike begins. Walk along this trail and have lunch amid the epic scenery. Arrive at the hotel in the early afternoon and take advantage of free time to rest or become acquainted with the property.
Day 3: Torres del Paine: Las Torres Hike
Most people when they picture Torres del Paine likely are seeing Las Torres in their mind. This crown jewel of the park is also known as Base Torres, and is the viewpoint for three very distinct granite rock towers shooting up from the glacier lake below them. On a clear day the blue sky above the impossible turquoise of the lake and the grey peaks covered in white snow is breathtaking, making it a view you will never forget.
This morning the group will travel from the hotel to the Torres del Paine Visitor Centre. From here, set off on a hike to the base of the Towers. An included box lunch will be had upon arrival to the top before the return trip. Travel back to the hotel in the early evening where dinner will be served.
Day 4: Torres del Paine: Hike to Grey Glacier Viewpoint
You will enjoy impressive views of Grey Glacier as you hike the trail next to the lake of the same name, looking across to the tongue of the glacier and the rock island known as Nunatak. The fresh air combined with the rugged terrain will have your heart thumping and endorphins flowing in one of the most stunning landscapes on earth.
Travel to Pudeto and take a ferry to Paine Grande Campsite. Hike from the camp to the sightseeing point of Grey Glacier. Sit down to enjoy lunch during the trek. There will be some free time back at the Paine Grande Campsite before the ferry back to Pudeto. Arrive back to the hotel for dinner.
Day 5: El Calafate: From Chile to Argentina
Catch the last views of Torres del Paine's iconic peaks as you travel east into Argentina and to the town of El Calafate, near the edge of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Keep your eyes peeled for roaming guanacos and herds of sheep along the way in the grassy flatlands that the southern cowboys call home.
Spend most of the day on a private transfer from Torres del Paine to El Calafate, with a hearty boxed lunch en route. Along the way, cross the border between Chile and Argentina. Arrive at the hotel in the early evening and enjoy free time to check out the town and find a spot for dinner.
Day 6: El Calafate: Perito Moreno Glacier
Hold your breath as you watch a massive chunk of ice calve from the face of Perito Moreno Glacier and crash into the lake below. As you get closer you will see why this is one of the most scenic landscapes in the world. Become immersed in the landscape and feel humbled by the grandiosity of nature.
Travel to Los Glaciares National Park and set out to explore the walkways of the Perito Moreno Glacier with your guide and CEO. Sit down for a boxed lunch with an epic view. Travel back to the hotel in El Calafate where there will be free time to unwind and find a restaurant for dinner.
Day 7: Los Glaciares National Park: Remote Wilderness
Journey to your OMG Stay in the sheer wild beauty of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. Sail across Lago Argentino into the misty atmosphere of this park in the southern corner of the planet, and spend the next few days in the elegant comfort of this unique lodge. The property is located in a glacier valley protected from the elements, but fully exposed to panoramic views of nearby mountains and lakes. Use this opportunity in the untamed Patagonia landscape to connect with the inherent power of nature.
In the morning, transfer to Punta Bandera by private vehicle and navigate by boat across Lago Argentino to the OMG Stay, set back along the shores of the Cristina Channel. Soak in amazing vistas as you float by Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers. Arrive at the property around midday to get settled and have lunch. This afternoon enjoy free time to become acquainted with your OMG property at your own pace. Choose from a variety of activity options like self-guided hikes, birdwatching, a guided historical walk, or even a horseback ride through the Rio Caterina Valley. Sit down for an included dinner at the estancia this evening.
Day 8: Los Glaciares National Park: Your OMG Day
The land surrounding Estancia Cristina is seeped in a raw beauty that never ceases to amaze the adventurous traveller. With a choice between two curated experiences, you will be immersed in the true essence of Patagonia. Begin with a 4x4 ride up to the Upsala Viewpoint to admire views of the glacier. Choose between three different activities to make a memorable afternoon in Patagonia's impressive natural landscapes.
Choose between three different options to spend your time at the Estancia. Hike the Cañadón de los Fósiles guided by an expert. Enjoy a peaceful walk to Cascada de los Perros. Or hike to Cerro Carnero and gain a complete view of the valley and the Cordillera de Los Andes cradled by glaciers. Lunch and dinner will be included back at the Estancia.
Day 9: El Calafate: The Wilds of Patagonia
As you wake up in the cozy atmosphere of the lodge, you will naturally gaze out of one of the wide windows for views of the pristine landscape. Savour the last moments you have in this remote and striking part of the world before you return to civilization, where a typical Patagonian feast awaits.
Take advantage of free time in the morning to partake in a few optional activities offered from the ranch, like horseback riding near Pearson Lake or a hike to Los Perros waterfall. Enjoy lunch back at the ranch before travelling back to Punta Bandera via boat. Transfer by private vehicle to the hotel in El Calafate and sit down for a delicious Patagonian meal as a group dinner.
Day 10: El Calafate
Today your adventure comes to an end, but the memories made during your time in Patagonia are sure to live on.
Depart at any time.

This was my first group tour, and first tour with G Adventures. I would definitely take another tour with this company! Our guide was wonderful, and the itinerary was well done. It was nice to not have to think about everything and have everything planned out and ready to go for you.

The most amazing experience. The hiking was hard but spectacular and the accommodation and food exceptional. Was so great to have a hotel option after hiking instead of camping. We were also with a group of like minded people.

This Geluxe Patagonia G adventure tour can only be described as breathtaking and excellent experience. While the price is steep, it is worth every penny due to the comfortable boarding with beautiful views, food and alcohol being included in most of the hotels and cities, and, more importantly, the OH MY GOD! stay-- Estancia Cristina makes it well-worth it. The guides at each of the locations were knowledgeable and worked with individuals within the tour group. To top it all off, the CEO of the tour--Natasha, made the experience even more unique. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who's thinking of visiting this beautiful place.
