Important notes

• For programs that include only camping accommodations, all tents are double occupancy and shared by two people. Double-occupancy rates apply to groups with an even number of travelers (2, 4, 6, etc.), as each tent is shared by two people. For groups with an odd number of travelers (1, 3, 5, etc.), a single supplement of CLP$ 25.000 / US$ 36, as one traveler will occupy a double tent alone.
  
• Non-resident foreigners must present their passport and entry card to the country at check-in at each accommodation. If these documents are not presented, the guest must pay IVA (Spanish acronym for VAT) directly at the accommodation.

Start: Day 1 at 6:45 am in the Terminal Rodoviario de Puerto Natales.

End: Day 2 at 4:30 pm in the Terminal Rodoviario de Puerto Natales.

Day 1: Departure from Puerto Natales, Pehoé Catamaran and Grey Lookout Trek (22 km, 8 to 9 hours).

The beginning of this activity will be in the Puerto Natales Bus Station to take the bus that will take you to Pudeto. In that place, you will board the catamaran to cross the Pehoé Lake, navigation that lasts around 30 minutes and that will give you the first views of the Paine Massif and the Cuernos del Paine. You will disembark in the Paine Grande Area, where you will start walking through a gorge, after what you will see the Grey Lake and the first images of the Grey Glacier. In addition, you will see the Nunatak, from where other excursions over the Grey Glacier starts. The same way, you will see the Cordón Olguín and the small icebergs detached from the glacier that float over the lake. After that, you will return to Paine Grande, where you will spend the night and rest.

Day 2: Pehoé Catamaran and arrival to Puerto Natales.

This day you will be able to relax a little bit with the times, but not too much because you must take the catamaran to start the navigation back though the Pehoé Lake. You will have the privileged views of the Torres del Paine National Park again, if the weather allows it, and you will reach the Pudeto area, where you will take the bus back to the Terminal Rodoviario de Puerto Natales, where the activity ends.
