Don t miss the chance to stroll around downtown, visit the square and kiss the Native s foot that way you can make sure you will return to this part of the world. Overnight 3* hotel in Punta Arenas.

5 Day 5: Welcome to Torres del Paine! Torres del Paine NP, Chile After breakfast at the hotel, during the morning a transfer will pick you up from your hotel in Punta Arenas and drive you to EcoCamp Patagonia, located in the world-famous Torres del Paine National Park. During this ride we will stop in Puerto Natales, a small, lively town on the shores of "Seno de Ultima Esperanza", where we will enjoy lunch. Second stop will be at Cueva de Milodón, a massive prehistoric cave where the remains of a giant ground sloth were discovered in the 1890 s. The scenic ride features impressive landscapes and wildlife. At the end of the day you will reach your accommodation: Ecocamp Patagonia, is the world s 1 st geodesic dome accommodation, nestled in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park. Sunset is usually around 11 pm during summer months, meaning that there will still be enough daylight for you to admire the Patagonian steppe with its guanacos and snow-peaked mountain horizon once you arrive. Overnight at EcoCamp Patagonia. Day 6: Cycling to Laguna Azul Torres del Paine NP After breakfast, we will drive to Estancia Laguna Amarga, hop on our mountain bikes and pedal away towards the Laguna Azul campsite, located approximately 20 km to the north east. We will cycle past an array of fauna on the Patagonian plains, including: guanacos and ostrich-like Ñandús (plus maybe the occasional puma print!) as we head north past the cascading Paine waterfall where we will pause to admire the stunning views. We will continue our journey heading past a small canyon in the middle of the Patagonian wilderness before heading towards Laguna Azul. Upon our arrival at Laguna Azul, we will enjoy lunch or box lunch. Once we have feasted and rested, we will have some time to explore the surroundings and climb to a nearby sightseeing point with a panoramic view of the lagoon and the Torres in the distance. The cycle ride back to Ecocamp is optional - anyone who is tired after the journey and lunch, is welcome to travel back in the support van (accompanying the group at all times on the outward journey). Back at EcoCamp the cyclists reunite with their Safari hiking counterparts to enjoy the evening aperitif. Overnight at Ecocamp Patagonia

6 Day 7: Kayak and boat trip to Grey Glacier Torres del Paine NP After breakfast at EcoCamp, we will head off at 9am to Grey Lake in the western sector of the park, about a two hour drive away. We cross the glaciar lake in a boat, during which you will get to enjoy views of the Paine massif in addition to the impressive glacier which forms part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Near the glacier we leave our boat and spend our day kayaking on the Grey Lake! But before we jump into our kayaking gear (neoprene suit, waterproofjacket, gloves, life jacket, spray skirt and boots) and get into our group kayaks, we will have a safety briefing. Then we paddle out into the lake and head towards the eastern face of the glacier! Navigating our way in between gigantic floating icebergs, eventually we come almost face-to-face with the mightly wall of the glacier itself. Your guide will offer you a snack and hot drink to replenish your energies, while you admire the immensity of the iceberg and its myriad shades of blue. Then we take the boat back passing the glaciar, before we board the van returning to EcoCamp for our evening aperitif and meal. Overnight at Ecocamp Patagonia Day 8: Patagonia Horse Riding Southern Patagonia One of the best ways to enjoy all that Patagonia has to offer is by riding through it on horseback. This excursion departs at 9:30am, after we have had a hearty breakfast at EcoCamp. We will admire the most spectacular parts of Paine hill with a full day of horseback riding. Venturing through forest and crossing streams, all the while surrounded by amazing greenery. There are 5 different prairies along this trip and experienced riders are welcome to gallop through these parts at their leisure. If you visit in February, you will be able see the Encantado valley. Lunch will be served at the Seron campsite, where we will enjoy a spectacular view, featuring parts of las Torres, Mount Admiral Nieto, the Blue lagoon and the Paine river. Depending on our group we can decide to stay out riding past 4:00pm or choose to head back early to EcoCamp and enjoy an evening cocktail. If you are a horseback riding fanatic this is the perfect adventure for you! If this excursion is cancelled because of climate conditions, it will be replaced by the trek to French Valley. Overnight at Ecocamp Patagonia

7 Day 9: Trek Towers Base Torres del Paine NP We will walk from the campsite towards Hostería Las Torres before ascending to Ascencio Valley on the Tower's eastern face. Mountain ridges, beech forests and small rivers line the scenic walk towards the valley. Our big challenge comes in the form of the steep moraine, a huge mass of boulders which will lead us to that iconic baseview of the Towers - Three gigantic granite monoliths, the remains of a great cirque sheared away by the forces of glacial ice. After a tough uphill climb, the Towers eventually come into full view, rising majestically before us, with the glacial lake visible below. Is there any better place in the world to have lunch? After feasting on the view and our picnic, we backtrack along the same trail through Ascencio Valley and return to EcoCamp for a well-deserved dinner. Overnight at Ecocamp Patagonia Day 10: Departure Day Torres del Paine NP, Chile We will board an early morning vehicle, sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic ride back to Punta Arenas on time to catch the evening flight to Santiago.

Climate Northern Patagonia The Patagonian temperate rain forest is located in Chilean territory, between latitude 38 30'S to 55 30'S, west of the Andes. It is characterized by its abundant rainfall throughout the year and its warmer summers (hot days reaching 30 degrees Celsius). This rainy weather is the product of moisture carried by anticyclonic winds from the South Pacific, which are condensed by the cold coastal Humboldt Current. Upon entering the continent, this humidity falls as rain on the Andes, and dissipates when colliding with dry winds from the Argentinian Patagonian steppes. Southern Patagonia In Torres del Paine in spring or early summer fine weather may deteriorate almost without warning, bringing rains and possibly snow. Autumn can also be unpredictable and winter is bitterly cold. Even in summer (December to March), cold strong winds (up to 130 km/hr) and rainfall are not uncommon. The summer s average temperature is 11ºC/52ºF (24ºC max, 2ºC min). Rest assured, however, that just as quickly as the weather turns nasty, it can become pleasantly warm. Night-time temperatures will most likely range from 1 C to -5 C (30s and 40s ºF) depending on the weather.

13 Suggested clothing and equipment Chilean Patagonia is full of contrasts, and the weather is not the exception. Strong winds, heavy rain, hot and sunny days, combined with dry days and other more humid might occur along your stay. The changes of temperature between day and night forces us to dress in layers for the outdoor activities. This variable weather determines the biodiversity of this world s southernmost region and compels us to prepare our suitcase the best as possible to enjoy the adventure. Next is a list of the suggested equipment to make your travel experience more enjoyable at the Patagonia Extremes!

14 Physical Demand The Chilean Patagonia Extremes Program combines different disciplines and outdoor sports such as mountain biking, trekking, rafting, Ziplines/canopy. Kayaking and horseback riding. Trekking portions of the program requires the greatest physical effort. Trekking activities (10 km) and mountain bike (6 kilometers) are performed on rocky terrain with steep slopes up and down, by trail or road in the middle the forest. The rafting activity is active and challenging, on category III / IV rapids (minimum age 13 years old).

The ziplines/canopy activity requires no particular physical condition except a maximum weight of 100 kilos (220 lb.) to perform the activity. Minimum age required 18 years old. Physical fitness and health is required for the entire program. If you have any special conditions that could be an impediment, consult before making your booking to avoid inconveniences. In Torres del Paine, those used to hiking on weekends or doing regular cycling or jogging etc should have no problem but some warm up hikes prior to the trip would be recommendable in any case. Horse riding and kayaking do not require advanced abilities. Participants should be 12 years of age or older. Do Not Forget! It is very important to come prepared for winter and summer in all trips. It is important to bring a comfortable backpack for trekking (minimum 10 liters), trekking shoes, windbreaker, parka, comfortable to walking shorts, swimsuit, camera, headlamp, sunscreen, sunglasses, enough spare clothes in case of rain, hat, and / or bandana.
