What to expect

Glaciar Grey

The tour begins with the departure from the Grey Area of the park, to travel towards the end of the Southern Ice Field, where the Grey Glacier is. Located inside Torres del Paine National Park, the glacier has an ice wall measuring about 40 meters high and a combination of blueish tones, creating a stunning natural view. To get to the boat, there is a previous 3 km walk by the Grey beach from the closest parking lot. We will visit the glacier through the Grey II boat, which will take us to numerous floating icebergs and its various formations, ideal to watch or photograph. After sailing for about 45 minutes, we will go to front of the glacier, which is divided by a central island, where we land. This way, you can enjoy the full extent of the countless cracks and uprisings constituting the snowdrift. Sometimes large ice landslides occur, avoiding the navigation of the Grey II, but it also gives opportunity to perform the navigation by zodiacs.
