Today is all about the valley, you will start having your first glance at the Paine Massif. You will arrive at the estancia where they will be waiting for you with a barbecue lunch.

And the biggest highlight is the three towers of granite that give the name to the National Park. As you will arrive early to your overnight destination, you will have time on the ground. The place where you are staying is known as a wild horse reserve, which you can only access by foot, so this afternoon, you will be hiking a bit.

Today, you will enter Torres del Paine National Park and go as far inside the park as you can and actually lose sight of the towers to go in search of the “onion” lagoon.
