Fullday Torres del Paine Scenic Tour with early morning at Sarmiento Lake.

The distance from Puerto Natales to the park's gate at Laguna Amarga is approx. 1.5 hours (90km).

We have 2 short walks planned:

1.) Salto Grande waterfall: walk on a path approx. 1/2 km to the waterfall, rugged terrain in a "wind tunnel". This area is often beaten by strong winds that sweep from the Lake Noordenskjold to the Lake Pehoe through the glacier water channel that leaps of the "salto grande". If favored by you, there is an extended version. The longer hike proceeds further from the waterfall to the Mirador de los Cuernos (view-point of the Paine Horns). This requires another 1 hour walk back and fourth to the Noordenskjold Lake's Mirador de los Cuernos.

2.) Grey Glacier Lake walk along the shore: this is a 1km walk at its shortest or 3.5km walk at its longest. Be prepared for heavy winds and ever changing weather. Walk over a hanging bridge that swings... then a short walk across an ancient forest of Coigues trees. You appear from above the long shore line of the lake perhaps with floating glaciers near the beach. If you like, you can walk to the end of the beach and take a small path that climbs the side of a small rock hill at the cape of it there is a mirador from which you can admire the full length of the Grey Lake. This complete walk in its extended version is about 2 hours.

Lifestyles options:

Early Bird Fullday: Pickup at 5.00am. This early start is to improve chances of Puma sightings (which are usually rare).

Also suggested for photo-enthusiasts.

Allows us to arrive to the Sarmiento Lake at a moment of day with a special light and tranquillity. We avoid the column of tour buses on the road and traffic at the entrance of the park. The plan of the day is to visit the park's authorized areas along and around the scenic park road with its iconic landmarks and hiking paths. Early start also allows extended time on the paths visited during the tour.

Please note: The road inside the park is dirt and gravel. It has several gates through which we can enter the park, although normally we go to Laguna Amarga Gate. If possible the tour is flexible according to your preferences also it may vary subject to Patagonia and remote areas unpredictability.

Your guide will consider options based on safety and time plan as to which paths can be considered as safe at the time of the tour, relative to road, weather and wind conditions.
