After 4 or 5 hours walking, you will reach your next destination, the Cuernos del Paine, where you will be able to take some pictures, if the weather is good enough. When night falls, you will sleep in Cuernos Campsite.

Day 3: Francés Valley Hike (25 km, 15.5 miles, 10 to 12 hours).

The first stop will be in the Italiano Campsite, where you can leave your backpack and continue the route only with the essentials (water, warm clothes and food). From there, you will start going up for 1 hour and half through the Francés River Valley until reaching the Francés Glacier Lookout Point. The travel continues until arriving to the Británico Lookout Point, where you can see the unique scenarios delivered by this place inside the national park: Paine Grande, Catedral, Aleta de Tiburón and Cuerno Norte.

Day 4: Grey Trek + additional activity on the glacier (11 km, 6.8 miles, 4 to 5 hours).

During this day you will be able to visit the Grey Glacier Lookout Points. To reach to the first lookout, you have to walk for 1 and a half hour from Paine Grande, from where you will start to see the final destination. You have to continue walking for almost 2 hours to reach the Grey Campsite, where you can leave your things to keep walking for another 15 minutes until reaching the Main Lookout Point. After this effort, you just have revel with the magnitude of the Grey Glacier, the Cordón Olguín and the small icebergs. After going back to the Grey Campsite, where you will stay during the night, you will be able to go to the base to make one of the two optional available activities:

• Grey Glacier Ice Hike: 15-minute navigation by Zodiac to the Nunatak Island, from where starts the 1-hour hike with crampons, piolet, harness and helmet on the Grey Glacier.
• Grey Glacier Kayak: kayak navigation between the small icebergs surrounding the glacier and, if the weather is good enough, close to the Nunatak Island, to have another perspective of the glacier. Wetsuit, jacket and waterproof boots, kayak gloves, kayak skirt, kayak vest and life vest included.

After this experience, you will return to Grey Campsie to rest for the next day.
