Description

An excursion that joins two of the four accesses to Torres del Paine National Park, allowing you to visit a little known and very attractive area for wildlife observation. Its scenic setting is certainly a place worth visiting. Once we enter the park through the Lago Sarmiento gate, we will start our trail with a gentle slope with a lateral view of the imposing lake of the same name. Almost this entire route borders private property, a common hunting area for the region's largest predator, the Puma.
After an hour's walk, we will arrive at an overhang where it is possible to observe a series of rock paintings dating back more than 6,000 years. The conditions of this sector allowed it to be frequented by groups of ... for thousands of years in search of food along the American continent. In this place, we can photograph the environment and understand the rugged geography associated with the rise of high peaks and huge tracts of land to the east.
After 2 hours of hiking, we will arrive at the main access to Torres del Paine National Park: Portería Laguna Amarga. Before starting the descent among conglomerate rocks, it will be possible to observe the sinuous shape of the Paine River. After a stop to use the restrooms, we will return to the vehicle to go to the Cascada Paine sector. The journey continues to Cañadón Macho, an area where it is possible to observe large groups of guanacos that coexist with species such as the Ñandú, Gray Fox, Condor, Mora Eagle, among others.
After passing through this extensive valley, we will return to the city of Puerto Natales with the sensation of having experienced a true day of adventure, far from the crowds and in the wild surroundings of Southern Patagonia.
