We'll transfer in the morning from El Calafate to Cancha Carrera, where we will enter the Torres del Paine National Park. Once in the park, we will make several stops, stopping at spectacular lakes, crashing waterfalls and breathtaking viewpoints. Keep an eye out for wildlife - we'll be trying to also spot guanacos and foxes, among others! We'll visit the sandy shores of Laguna Amarga to access the best panoramic view of the Torres del Paine. Here, we'll stop to take a short walk to soak in the scenery. Then, we will continue to the Cascada Paine where we will go down to have a picnic on the banks of the Paine River with views of Las Torres. After making stops at various viewpoints (Laguna de Los Cisnes, Mirador Superior del Nordenskjold), we arrive at the Salto Grande, from where a walk is made to the Mirador de Los Cuernos del Paine on the shores of Lake Nordenskjold. This walk is guided and lasts about 2 hours in total. At the end of the walk, continue in the vehicle to a new viewpoint, this time near Lago Pehoe, from where you will have one of the most famous views of the National Park, with Los Cuernos and the Valle del Francés in the background, framed by lakes Pehoe and Nordenskjold, from there you will also see Monte Paine Grande and Almirante Nieto.
