Description

Depart from your accommodation in Puerto Natales and head to Torres del Paine National Park. Enter the park through the Laguna Amarga entrance and begin your first hike along the Aonikenk Trail. Explore the Sarmiento entrance area, where you can view a series of rock paintings left by the area’s first human inhabitants. This 3-hour hike offers the chance to observe abundant birdlife and enjoy a stunning view of the Paine Massif with the Paine River and lakes in the distance. Finish your walk at the Laguna Amarga entrance. Proceed to the Pudeto area, where you can witness the impressive Salto Grande, a 12-meter waterfall that drains Lake Nordenskjöld into Lake Pehoé. Start a low-intensity 2-hour round-trip hike through Patagonian steppe terrain, appreciating the diverse birdlife around the trail’s lagoons, until you reach the shores of Lake Nordenskjöld, where the Cuernos Viewpoint is located. Rest while enjoying a superb view of the glacial lake, the Paine Massif, the French Valley, and the iconic Cuernos del Paine in the foreground. Appreciate the region’s distinctive flora, spot local birdlife — with the majestic Condor (Vultur gryphus) as a highlight — and capture the best photographs. After descending from the viewpoint, start your return to Puerto Natales.
