Activity description
Our adventure begins early in the morning, when we'll pick you up at your hotel to begin a unique experience. Leaving El Calafate behind, we'll take a picturesque gravel road that will take us to the Cancha Carrera border crossing, where we'll cross into the fascinating Republic of Chile.
After completing customs and immigration procedures, our local guide will welcome us and accompany us on the journey to Torres del Paine National Park, a place that seems straight out of a dream. Along the way, you'll be amazed by the unique landscapes, beginning with the Mirador del Lago Sarmiento de Gamboa and the imposing Paine River Falls. From there, we'll stop at the upper viewpoint of Cerro Almirante Nieto and the majestic Cuernos del Paine, as well as at the entrance to Laguna Amarga, where the hues of the lakes and mountains create unforgettable postcards.
Once inside the park, a day filled with exploration and natural wonders awaits you. Get ready to enjoy a guided hike along spectacular trails designed for all levels, as you immerse yourself in the beauty of one of the world's most vibrant ecosystems. We'll depart from Salto Grande, hiking for about 1.5 hours to the Mirador de los Cuernos del Paine, on the shores of crystal-clear Lake Nordenskjold. This easy-to-reach trail will allow you to connect with the serenity and majesty of the surroundings.
Back in our vehicle, we'll visit the iconic Lake Pehoé, where you'll have the best views of the Horns of Paine and the charming French Valley, a breathtaking place.
After a day filled with stunning landscapes, fascinating stories, and unforgettable moments, we'll begin our return to El Calafate. During the journey, we'll continue exploring the flora, fauna, and culture of this unique region of southern Patagonia.
