Itinerary
To start the tour, we’ll pick you up at your accommodations in Puerto Natales with a shuttle bus. Once on the bus, we’ll head to the famous Torres del Paine National Park, a journey of about two hours. We’ll enter the park through the Portería Laguna Amarga Gate where you’ll have excellent views of the Torres del Paine.
We’ll begin our tour on the roads of Torres del Paine National Park. From the comfort of the shuttle bus, you’ll see the park’s unique Patagonian steppe. In addition, throughout the tour, you’ll catch glimpses of the breathtaking Macizo Paine.
Keeping on the tour, we’ll stop at the most famous viewpoints of Torres del Paine: Lake Sarmiento Viewpoint, Laguna Amarga Viewpoint, and Lake Noderhold Viewpoint. Each viewpoint offers very different landscapes of the various ecosystems of the park. Once we arrive at the Pehoé Camping Sector, we’ll stop for lunch with the group and guides to enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Pehoé and the Cuernos del Paine while we munch away.
The next stop is Grey Lake, where we’ll enjoy about an hour’s walk. Along the way, we’ll cross the ancient Lenga Forest before reaching the shore of Lake Grey. From there, we’ll stroll along the beach and admire the many shades of blue in the ice of Grey Glacier, which originates from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. We’ll be able to see the glacier from a distance, taking in its majestic beauty across the lake.
We begin our return trip by driving through the Portería Serrano Sector to Puerto Natales, however this is not the end of the tour. Before finishing the Torres del Paine Day Tour, you’ll visit one of the most intriguing sites of the park, the Milodon Cave Natural Monument. This cave is famous for the discovered remains of an extinct species of large herbivorous mammals endemic to Patagonia and related to the current two-toed ground sloth.
When the visit to the Milodon Cave is over, we’ll return to Puerto Natales. Arrival time should be between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., thus marking the end of an all-day tour of Torres del Paine and Milodon Cave and this intense but fantastic day.

I went on the Torres de Paine tour with guide Daniel. It was a cold snowy day so some of the peaks weren't visible. But the snow added a beautiful atmosphere. The scenery is stunning. Our guide Daniel was wonderful. He was friendly, considerate & very knowledgeable.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the Torres del Paine & Milodón Cave day tour from Puerto Natales, even with the snowy weather adding its own atmosphere. Torres del Paine can be breathtaking in any conditions, and it’s great that the scenery still impressed you. We’re especially happy to hear your guide Daniel made the experience stand out. His friendliness, care, and knowledge are exactly what we aim for on every tour, and we’ll make sure your kind words reach him. Warm regards, Howlanders team
The tour operator failed to fulfill their fundamental obligation to appear at the hotel lobby. The tour operator was in possession of my valid phone number, yet no attempt was made to contact me. Instead, I was marked as a “no-show” without any prior communication or reasonable effort to reach me. This handling is both unprofessional and inconsistent with basic standards of good faith and service.
We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction, but we would like to clarify the situation regarding your review. Our guide was present at the hotel lobby at the agreed pickup time, as scheduled. In addition, we also sent you a direct message through the platform informing you of the pickup status at the time. Unfortunately, we did not receive any response from your side. As no contact was established and the waiting time had been fulfilled according to our operational procedures, the booking was marked as a no-show. We always make every reasonable effort to reach our passengers, both in person and via the contact details provided, in order to ensure a smooth service. We regret any misunderstanding and remain available should you wish to review the communication logs or discuss the case further. Kind regards, Howlanders Team
It is very interesting and fun trip with beautiful scenery. Our tourguide, Francisco, was very pleasant, attentive and fun to travel with
Lan, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience and the guides lived up to your expectations. and we hope to see you again. Best regards, Howlanders Team
