Return to Puerto Natales in the late afternoon Day 2 - After breakfast continue with your selected Torres del Paine program or return to Punta Arenas. . The entire zone north Puerto Natales with its low altitude and proximity to the Pacific ocean enjoys a very particular microclimate. For its relatively extreme southern latitude it is notably temperate though unpredictable in its weather pattern. Good wind and rain gear to protect you against the elements is a must traveling here. More importantly though, do not dishearten when rain threatens because the weather here changes often.
Enormous glaciers mark the northern boundary of the park.
Glacier Grey melts slowly into Lago Grey providing spectacular crashing ice and tremendous green and blue icebergs. This is a traditional lodge at the base of the Torres themselves. The historic buildings were once an Estancia or large sheep farm. There are both superior rooms with central heating, and standard rooms without. There is a good restaurant here and a large living room space with a cozy fireplace.
