Description

We’ll leave Puerto Natales and head to Torres del Paine National Park for an unforgettable adventure. Our hike begins at Lago Sarmiento Gate, covering a 6 km trail, perfect as a warm-up for the famous Base Torres Trek.

This gentle trail offers stunning views of Lake Sarmiento, a known puma hunting ground. After one hour, you’ll reach an archaeological site with 6,000-year-old cave paintings, created by the first Patagonian settlers. You’ll pause here to rest, take photos, and learn about local history.

You’ll continue towards Laguna Blanquillos, a bird nesting site, and then to Laguna Amarga Gate, before visiting Paine Waterfall, where mineral sediments paint the water in vibrant colors. Here, you’ll enjoy your box lunch with a breathtaking view of the Torres del Paine.

On the way back, we’ll pass through Cañadón Macho, home to herds of guanacos, before returning to Puerto Natales.
