Gathering three hikes focused in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park you will have the possibility to have several views and moments to contemplate the Paine Massif, Sarmiento Lake, and Nordenskjold Lake. During this excursion, we will stop at Sarmiento Entrance to begin our first hike, bordering the East side of the park. Here we will be alert to search for local fauna along the trail, passing through biological corridors. We will arrive to an area where native Tehueclhes used to seek refuge, where we will observe cave paintings that go as far back as 6,000 years. From here we will continue our hike towards a new entrance of the park, Amarga Entrance. Here, our driver will be waiting to take us to our second hike of the day, Sarmiento Chico. Here, along with the guide, you will begin an adventure along a less frequented trail that will show you another journey in time, this time to admire one of the first forms of life on the planet! The famous thrombolites of Lake Sarmiento will dazzle us with amazing views and incredible fun facts of our planet. Arriving back at the vehicle we will go towards our last hike, Cuernos Lookout Point. Along this journey, we will stop at Salto Grande, a waterfall that connects two of the most imposing lakes of the park. This area, which is usually windy, is where we will hike while we constantly look at the Paine Massif in front of us to until we reach close to the shore of Lake Nordneskjold. During this excursion you will find one of the most beautiful postcards of the park.
