We cross the Pehoé Lake by catamaran to the Paine Grande refuge to cross one of the stretches of the W. Around the midpoint of the hike, we can see the Grey Glacier and the Southern Ice Fields. We continue walking to the beach of Grey Lake where we board a boat that brings us to the glacier and then leaves us on the other side of the lake. We walk along the beach and through a forest to the van.

We will leave the lodge by foot along the shore of Lake Pehoé, observing the lenga and ñierre trees that make up the local flora. We walk up to a viewpoint, from where we will be able to see the expanse of the lake and the Paine range. This walk is a great introduction to the park, as it will allow us to understand where we are and the place around us.
