Visit to Torres del Paine National Park, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, in 1978. During the tour, we visit Del Milodón Cave and a small museum, which shows Prehistoric flora and fauna of the region. We continue towards the Park and once inside, from the Nordenskjold Viewpoint, we are able to appreciate a panoramic view of the Paine Massif. Bordering Pehoé Lake, we make it to our next destination: an imposing waterfall called Salto Grande. To reach it, we walk a short distance and find a viewpoint where it is possible to observe its flow. We have lunch (box lunch) surrounded by a landscape of mountains, and later we visit the area of Grey Lake and Grey Glacier, where we go on a one-hour trekking to admire, from the coast, lots of icebergs with different shapes and sizes. Return to Puerto Natales.
