Schedule

07:30 am - Travel from your accommodation in Puerto Natales to the Park

Pick up at hotel, transfer to Torres del Paine National Park. We will leave your accommodation in Puerto Natales towards Villa Cerro Castillo, capital of the commune of Torres del Paine, 59 kilometers north. The journey to this point is approximately 45 minutes, ideal time to talk and interpret the diversity of landscapes with abundant presence of Magellanic forest, valleys of glacial origin, mountain ranges and lakes along the route. If the weather permits, we will be able to see the presence of condors in one of the many nesting areas along the route.

The itinerary continues towards the Sarmiento Lake viewpoint, the first photographic break with a view of the Paine Mountain Range, from here and with good weather conditions, it will be possible to have a first panoramic view of the entire mountain range of Torres del Paine, the extension to the south of the Andes Mountains and the imposing Lake Sarmiento.

After this break we will head towards a site of great relevance, being one of the most impressive views in front of the granite towers. The place described above corresponds to the Laguna Amarga viewpoint, a favorite habitat for flamingos who frequently find ideal conditions for feeding at this site. The route continues towards the main access of the Torres del Paine National Park where we will register our access tickets to continue with the itinerary

Lago Grey

At this last point we will have time to have lunch (service not included in the rate) and to walk around the surroundings if weather conditions allow it. We return to the vehicle to continue the route leaving the Torres del Paine National Park through the southern section. Our last stop in front of Torres del Paine will be at the most impressive place on the Y-290 route called Mirador Grey. From here it will be possible to observe the group of mountains that dominate the western part of the province, the immense Lake Toro and, if the weather permits, also a section of the Gray Glacier. After 1 hour of travel, we will reach the culminating point of the day, we will visit the Cueva del Milodón Natural Monument. This protected area is the second most visited after the Torres del Paine National Park in the Magallanes region. Our guide will provide all the information associated with this site of great historical relevance due to the constant archaeological and paleontological research that has been carried out there.

At the end of the visit we begin the return to Puerto Natales, ending the day with the satisfaction of having obtained a unique experience in this corner of the world.

06:30 am - Travel from your accommodation in Puerto Natales to the Park

Departure from Puerto Natales and direct transfer to the Las Torres sector where we will arrive at “Cerro Paine Reserve”, the starting point of the trail, where we will receive a prior instructive talk from our guide. Start of the walk. We take the road towards the Valley and after 10 minutes of walking, we will walk on an old suspension bridge that crosses the Ascencio River. About 150 meters ahead, a fork appears: to the left it leads to the Las Torres Base. Then follows a zigzag with a steep slope and sparse vegetation for an hour. The ascent continues and passes next to another slope and after 45 minutes we reach Camping Chileno on the opposite bank of the Ascencio River, in the shadow of a beech forest, with a moderate slope, crossing several slopes that fall from the Almirante. Grandson. After about an hour and 10 minutes from the Chilean campsite, at 700 meters above sea level, you reach the foot of the moraine that gives access to the viewpoint

From this point, the trail increases its slope. First it goes next to a slope and under the shade of the small trees located at the edge of the moraine, but further up the path is lost as such and you must continue ascending among the rocks, some of which are marked to show the route. After about half an hour from the sign at 700 meters above sea level, you reach the eastern end of the lagoon, from where you have a wonderful view of the three towers (Central, Monzino, Dagostini) and the Peineta and Nido de Cóndores hills.

Communications with our chat (Freshchat)	Messages you send through the chat widget	Attend to online inquiries.
Reviews and ratings	Name (or pseudonym), rating, and comment	Publication of reviews on the corresponding pages, with your authorisation at the time of submission.

2.2 Data collected automatically

Technical browsing data: IP address, browser identifier (user-agent), preferred language, referring site, pages visited, date and time of visits. Collected through the server and, when you give consent, through cookies.
Internal analytics data: when you give your analytics consent, we record aggregated metrics of your visit in our database (sessions, pages viewed, referrer, language, time on site). This data is independent of Google Analytics (see §4.2) and stays exclusively under our control, on our own infrastructure.
Cookies and similar technologies: see §6 for details. The current list of cookies and their purpose is shown in our consent-management banner, where you can adjust your preferences at any time.

2.3 Data we do NOT request

We do not request special categories of data (racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, sexual life, biometric data). If on your own initiative you include health information relevant to your trip (for example, dietary restrictions or medical requirements) in the notes field, we process it exclusively to coordinate your service and for the time strictly necessary.

2.4 Technical data we do NOT store

By design of our system, we do not store the IP address or browser identifier (user-agent) in form-submission records. This data may be logged temporarily in the server logs (see §7) but is not associated with your submission.

3. Legal basis for processing

The processing activities described in this policy rely on the following legal grounds:

Performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (GDPR art. 6.1.b / Law 19.628 art. 4): handling your inquiry, preparing the quote, managing the booking, and providing the travel service you request.
Consent (GDPR art. 6.1.a / Law 19.628 art. 4): express acceptance of this policy when submitting a form, and granular consent for non-essential cookies through our consent-management banner.
Legal obligation (GDPR art. 6.1.c / Law 19.628 art. 4 final paragraph): retention of tax and accounting records as required by Chilean law.
Legitimate interest (GDPR art. 6.1.f): site security, fraud prevention, operational improvements based on aggregated, non-identifiable data.

4. Who we share your data with

We share personal data only with third parties strictly necessary to provide the service you request, and under agreements that bind them to process the data solely for that purpose.

4.1 Tourism service providers

We share your data with providers only in two situations, and only the strictly necessary data in each case:

(a) To perform the contracted service. When we confirm a booking, we transfer the strictly necessary data — and only the strictly necessary data — to the operators and providers that appear in your itinerary: hotels, tour operators, ground and air transport companies, national parks, and other tourism providers. This transfer is essential to materialise the booking. Each provider uses the data exclusively to deliver the contracted service.
(b) To respond to a message directed at a provider. Some of our forms are designed for the visitor to inquire directly with a specific provider (for example, an inquiry directed at a hotel). In those cases, your message and your contact data are forwarded to that provider so they can reply. We retain a technical copy of the submission for one month (see §7).

These providers process the data as data processors, exclusively for the agreed purpose.

If you need specific information about the safeguards applied, you can request it via the email indicated in §1.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies so the site works, to remember your preferences, to measure its use, and — when you accept — to personalise advertising content. Cookies are grouped into the following categories:

Functional (always active): session, language, currency, cart contents, consent preferences. Without these, the site cannot function correctly.
Analytics: site-usage measurement via Google Analytics (external service) and via our internal analytics tool (data stored locally in our database), both only with your consent.
Marketing/Advertising: Google Ads (conversions), Meta Pixel (when active), only with consent.
Embedded third-party cookies: Freshchat, Calendly, YouTube, and reCAPTCHA may set their own cookies when you interact with their widgets or iframes. Their privacy policies additionally apply when you do so.

The detail per individual cookie (name, purpose, duration, origin) is available in the consent-management banner, where you can also change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time.

The banner’s behaviour adapts automatically to your jurisdiction of residence, according to applicable local regulation:

Visitors from the European Union, United Kingdom, Brazil, or South Africa: prior-consent model (opt-in). Non-essential cookies remain inactive until you accept them explicitly.
Visitors from the United States, Canada, or Australia: notice-with-opt-out model. Some cookies may activate on first access; you can disable them at any time and, where applicable, exercise specific rights (for example, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information for California residents under the CCPA/CPRA) directly from the banner.

In all cases, the banner displays the cookie notice specific to your jurisdiction and lets you consult and modify preferences at any time.

7. How long we retain your data

Data type	Retention period
Submissions to provider-direct contact forms (the inquiry is forwarded to the provider and we keep a technical copy)	1 month from submission. Identifying data (name, email, phone, subject, message) is deleted; the technical trace copy is anonymised for aggregate analysis.
Submissions to inquiry / quote forms that did not result in a booking	1 month from submission (same procedure as the previous point).
Submissions to the passenger-data form during the booking process	1 month from submission; these records are deleted in full (not just anonymised), since the canonical copy of the passenger data is linked to the corresponding order.
Orders and bookings — customer billing data (name, email, phone, RUT/document)	90 days from the trip check-in date. After that period, the order’s billing fields (first name, last name, email, phone, document number) are deleted. The order is retained as a commercial record.
Orders and bookings — administrative notes	Order notes related to payment are retained for accounting reasons; other notes are deleted 90 days after check-in.
Tax documents (boletas, invoices, credit and debit notes)	Minimum 6 years under article 17 of the Chilean Tax Code. In practice, tax documents actually issued are retained indefinitely as an accounting backup. Draft tax documents that never reach the SII (cancelled, corrected, or abandoned) are purged at month-end close. For boletas mainly the customer name is retained; for invoices the full data of the receiving company is retained (legal name, RUT, business line, address, contact).
Support tickets (Freshdesk)	18 months from the last interaction on the ticket; then deleted or anonymised according to the provider’s configuration.
Chat communications (Freshchat)	12 months from the visitor’s last interaction; then deleted according to the provider’s configuration.
Emails sent from our Google Workspace mailboxes (confirmations, replies to inquiries, coordination with providers)	Up to 24 months from sending; older emails are deleted in periodic reviews. Copies kept by the recipient in their own email are outside our control. We do not maintain a duplicate local log on our website. (Pending confirmation: if Google Workspace Vault is enabled, this period will be reduced to 18 months with automatic enforcement.)
Internal user accounts (operators)	While the user is active, and for the legal periods applicable after termination.
Published reviews	Indefinite while they remain published; may be withdrawn at the author’s request.
Technical browsing data (server logs)	12 months.
Internal analytics data (sessions, pages viewed, referrer, language, time on site)	24 months in the active database. After that period, the tool generates an aggregated backup file stored on the server; the specific retention policy for this file is defined in our internal operational procedures.
System backup	We maintain two layers of system backups. (a) Daily copy of the full system, overwritten in each cycle: when we delete personal data according to the retention periods above, its trace in this copy disappears within a maximum of 24 hours. (b) Older point-in-time backups (up to 24 months retention), kept as contingency against security incidents detected after the fact — for example, intrusions that compromise system integrity and require restoring a verified prior point. These backups are not used in normal operation; if after a restore personal data reappears that should already have been deleted, the corresponding deletion procedure is applied again.
Cookies	According to the duration indicated for each cookie in the consent banner.

After the applicable period expires, personal data is irreversibly deleted or anonymised. Deletion processes run automatically via daily scheduled tasks.

8. How we protect your data

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures proportionate to the risk:

Encryption in transit via HTTPS/TLS on all sites.
Processing of payment methods through specialised providers (Stripe, Transbank, Virtualpos, Global66) in their respective secure environments — we do not store full card numbers or banking credentials on our servers.
Access control to internal tools (Freshdesk, admin panel) by user and minimum necessary permissions.
Protection against automated abuse via reCAPTCHA.
Backups and regular infrastructure auditing.

No system is 100% secure. If we detect a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you within the timeframes and through the channels required by applicable law.

9. Your rights

As a personal data subject you have the right to:

Access the data we process about you.
Rectify inaccurate or out-of-date data.
Delete (“right to be forgotten”) data whose processing is no longer necessary, subject to the legal retention obligations indicated in §7.
Object to processing and withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Request portability of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Lodge complaints with the competent authority. In Chile, the Council for Transparency and the ordinary courts currently handle these claims; with the entry into force of the new personal data protection law, the Personal Data Protection Agency will be the responsible body.
Additional rights under your jurisdiction. If your local law grants you rights beyond those listed above — for example, California residents under the CCPA/CPRA (right to know, right to delete, right to correct, right not to sell or share personal information), or specific rights under Brazil’s LGPD, Canada’s PIPEDA, South Africa’s POPIA, among others — you may exercise them by contacting us at the email indicated in §14. We will handle each request applying the standard most favourable to the data subject.

To exercise any of these rights, write to us at the email indicated in §1. We will reply within a maximum of 30 calendar days from receipt of the request. We may require additional information to verify your identity before processing the request.

10. Automated decisions and profiling

We do not take decisions that produce legal effects on you based solely on automated processing. Nor do we carry out profiling beyond the typical segmentation of aggregated advertising campaigns (when you accept marketing cookies).

11. Minors

Our services are aimed at persons over 18 years of age. When a trip includes underage passengers, their personal data is provided by their parents or responsible guardians, who guarantee that they have obtained the corresponding consent.

We do not deliberately request or collect personal data from minors under 14 years of age without the express consent of their parents or legal representatives. If you believe a minor has provided us with data without such authorisation, contact us so we can delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, in the technology used, or in applicable law. The date indicated at the beginning reflects the current version. If the change is substantial, we will notify you through the channels we usually use.

13. Binding language of this policy

This policy may be available in other languages (English, Portuguese) to make it easier to read for visitors who do not speak Spanish. The Spanish version is the only one that is legally binding. In the event of any discrepancy between the versions, the Spanish text prevails.
