The morning finds you entering Torres del Paine National Park, a land of pristine snow-fed lakes, impressive glaciers and rugged mountain peaks. From the turquoise-hued Nordenskjöld Lake, you can expect a picture-perfect view of the Paine Horns, the oft-photographed granite peaks that stand so sharply silhouetted against the sky.

There are no streets, so you’ll walk along footbridges as guides offer insight into the original Aboriginal inhabitants of the island. Meals B,L,D

Day 9 - Of Fjords & Glaciers
Cruising through the Calvo Fjord promises wonderful views of 4 glaciers, each distinct in hue, shape and size.
