Day by day
Day 1 — Punta Arenas
Arrive in Punta Arenas, the windswept port on the Strait of Magellan. Tomás meets you at the airport; in the evening we gather for king crab, Chilean wine and a briefing on the days ahead.
0 km · ↑ 0 m · Night: small hotel, Punta Arenas
Day 2 — Into the park
A morning drive north across the pampa, watching for rheas and guanacos, brings us to the park. We cross Lake Pehoé by catamaran and stretch our legs on a short walk to a viewpoint over the Cuernos.
8 km · ↑ 250 m · Night: mountain refugio
Day 3 — The French Valley
The big day of the trek. We climb beside the French River into a hidden amphitheatre of granite, listening to avalanches roll off the hanging glacier, and continue to the Británico lookout if the weather is kind.
21 km · ↑ 900 m · Night: mountain refugio
Day 4 — Lake Pehoé
A slower day to rest the legs. Walk the shoreline of Lake Pehoé to a waterfall, paddle a kayak if the wind allows, or simply sit with a coffee and watch the light move across the peaks.
10 km · ↑ 200 m · Night: our private camp
Day 5 — Grey Glacier
We follow the western arm of the W through lenga forest to the edge of Grey Glacier, where blue ice towers break into the lake. Optional kayaking among the icebergs in the afternoon.
22 km · ↑ 500 m · Night: mountain refugio
Day 6 — The towers at dawn
An early start with head torches to reach the base of the towers as the sun rises. Breakfast by the lake below the granite, then a long descent through the Ascencio valley.
19 km · ↑ 800 m · Night: family-run estancia
Day 7 — Estancia life
A day on the estancia. Ride with the gauchos, help with the sheep or walk to a condor lookout, then share a farewell asado with lamb roasted over an open fire.
6 km · ↑ 150 m · Night: family-run estancia
Day 8 — Homeward
After a slow breakfast we drive back to Punta Arenas for afternoon flights home, with the wind still in your ears.
0 km · ↑ 0 m · Transfer to Punta Arenas airport
