After just under 2 hours of walking, having left behind a flat stretch with small ''lengas'', the trail begins to descend gently to the "Quebrada de los Vientos" area, right after a section of rounded boulders where the south beach of Lake Grey is visible, normally populated by ice (and tourists, given its access by road). Walk around the side of a small lagoon and continue to descend, with the incredible emerald Lake Pehoe as backdrop.
Refugio Paine Grande (ex Pehoé) is situated adjacent to Lake Pehoe and has a wide but windy paid camping ($ 4000 p / p). It is commonly fully booked, so get there early if you plan to sleep. There are toilets and well-stocked store (even T-shirts and souvenirs are sold). There is also a hotel. From this point you can either:
* Continue the trek to Valle del Francés (thes route this article describes)
* Walk to the park entrance along a flat (and somewhat boring) trail, flanking the Grey River (5 hours),
* Take the catamaran to Pudeto .
