Depart on an easy full day tour visiting Lago Grey & Grey Glacier. We drive across the Park with views of Paine Grande and its snowy peaks, as well as of Los Cuernos – the famous mountain with black granite horn-like spires. Walking along the shores of stunning Lake Pehoe, you visit the furious Salto Grande falls which pour the waters of Lake Nordenskjold over Pehoe. The walk continues over the gentle Nordenskjold trail until reaching its picture-perfect lookout point. Later, back at Lake Pehoe, the vehicle takes us on a drive south to a beach along the shores of glacial Lake Grey. After relaxing with a box-lunch by the lake, we embark on a boat ride across icy waters to the towering blue-colored walls of Glacier Grey. This is an incredible sight! After visiting the glacier, we drive back to the EcoCamp.(BLD)
