Exploration Path
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.

Exploration Path
The hike starts at the lodge through a well-marked upward track, surrounded by low shrubs and ample views. Orchids follow along during the summertime. We get to see some hidden lagoons in the Torres del Paine National Park, condor nesting sites, and some forests. We get a front view of the Paine massif, until we get to the Sarmiento Chico Lake to examine rock formations of a protracted geological history. We return to the lodge by van.
