What you can expect

Rise and shine very early and get the day's adventure under way with a pickup from your accommodaiton. Drive to the Sarmientos gate, located in the eastern sector of the Torres del Paine National Park. Arrive and begin your first hike of the day of 7.2 kilometres, of low/medium intensity, called the Aonikenk Trail (The Aonikenk were the hunter-gatherer ethnic groups that inhabited Patagonia).

Walk through the Patagonian steppe, an area of vast plains and small bushes. This is a sector where you will be able to appreciate a diversity of flora and fauna such as guanacos, foxes, Andean condors, and even Puma Concolor. Continue on your journey to the middle of the path where a small cave features a painting that dates back 6500-years.

Head back to the Pehoe Campiong which is located in the central sector of the National Park. Enjoy an hour to have lunch with the best postcard view of the Pehoe Lake and the Cuernos del Pais. After your break, head for a short trek to the Pudeto sector where your second hike begins. Spot one of the most famous waterfalls of the National Park called Salto Grande.

After a 3km walk, reach the foot of the Nordenskjold Lake. Enjoy a scenic and impressive view of the entire Paine Massif, where you will recognise peaks such as Admiral Nieto, Cuernos, Paine Grande, and Valle del Frances.

After taking the necessary photos of this beautiful viewpoint, return to the vehicle along the same path before heading home to Puerto Natales.
