Chile multi-activity group adventure tour
This fabulous multi activity holiday is for adventure travellers who want something a bit different in Torres del Paine.
If you love the wilderness and remote areas, this is the vacation for you. We start with wild camping where the only access is by horse or 4WD, and camp in a valley backed by ancient southern beech forests and with awesome views to the Towers, with no other visitors except the resident estancia worker who makes this home through the summer.
Great horse riding and trekking
Our first riding day is up to the pretty Zamora Falls where we enjoy a peaceful lunch. Our second riding day offers long canters across grassy valleys and open pampas to Las Torres, and the start of our hiking adventure.
The hiking, like the riding, is world class. We start with the classic treks to the base of the Towers and Lake Nordjenskold, followed by the French Valley and Grey Glacier, to witness this incredible marvel of nature.
We then meet up with our horses again and enjoy a nice long canter to the Serrano River before enjoying some kayaking and iceburgs.
Water adventures
We spend a full day paddling among the icebergs in the stunning Grey Lake, a unique destination for kayaking with the immense Glacier Grey always in our sites. After a day in the kayaks, we spend another day on a beautiful ride down the Serrano River in zodiacs. There are lots of opportunities to take photos as we journey through the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park.
We say farewell to the park and spend a night at the contemporary and comfortable Hotel Weskar. Dinner will be in one of the town’s lovely restaurants while swapping tales of the previous days' adventures.
Check our Books and Maps section where you will find a range of literature to help you get the most out of your South American adventure.
