Torres del Paine Big Circuit 9 days

This trip aims at visiting the park in a different way and taking a closer look at each of the valleys we visit, walking along places which are little visited, going in and out of the park in a non traditional way but without leaving the classical valleys aside. In order to achieve our goal we will sail the sea, visit glaciers, go up river in a zodiac, horse ride along remote valleys, sail amongst glacier ice, walk on glaciers and go deep into the most spectacular valleys in the park. This trip requires a sophisticated logistic, in some places we will sleep in tents and in some other places we will use the hotels in the park as we look for the comfort and safety of our passengers.
