Note: Tour starts and ends Punta Arenas.


This tour starts in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park, and finishes with a beautiful down-river float through the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park.


The 12 day adventure consists of 4 days riding, 3 days hiking and 3 days in sea kayaks in this pristine wilderness and wonder of glacial sculpture. There is also time spent in the waterside town of Puerto Natales and Chile’s southern most city, Punta Arenas.


Torres del Paine is one of South America's most spectacular national park. The soaring granite pillars of the Torres (Towers), reaching over 2500 metres into the sky, are only one of the park's attractions. These, together with the Cuernos (Horns - light-coloured granite topped with a dark sedimentary rock) and Cerro Paine Grande (3350 metres) are distinct features of the huge massif which forms the centre-piece of the park. Also impressive are the glacial lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, dense forests and abundant wildlife (including a large colony of guanacos).

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.
