Take advantage of your time and take a tour to discover the exuberant nature and rocky landscapes with the Day Tour to Torres del Paine National Park, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Walk through the parks of Patagonia on this tour and discover the exceptional views of mountains, glaciers and lakes, which form the landscape of one of the most spectacular places in the world. The full-day excursion to Torres del Paine National Park starts very early in the morning, leaving from El Calafate to reach the border of Argentina and Chile. Once immigration and customs matters are completed, the guided tour will continue to Lake Sarmiento, where you will enjoy stunning views of crystal clear waters framed by mountainous landscapes. Once in the Park, we will make several stops with and without leaving the vehicle to admire lakes, waterfalls, and we will even be able to observe foxes and guanacos, and perhaps pumas, among other native animals. Aboard our OVERLAND 4X4 TRUCKS we will visit strategic points, from where we will take walks that will allow us to access the panoramic viewpoints of the Park's most important natural attractions. By default, we undertake a walk of low technical difficulty and minimal physical demand. The walk is done in the company of our trekking guides authorized by CONAF – Chile. At Laguna Amarga, taking advantage of the potential of our 4x4, we will border the lagoon along its sandy banks, to access the best panoramic view of Torres del Paine. There we stopped for a short walk. We will then continue to the Paine Waterfall (Cascata del Paine), where we will descend to have a picnic on the banks of the Paine River overlooking Las Torres. Our lunch is outdoors and in nature, protected by vegetation or even inside our Overland trucks if the weather is bad. Once on the move again, and after stopping at several viewpoints, such as Laguna de los Cisnes and Mirador Superior del Nordenskjold, we will arrive at Salto Grande, from where we will take a guided walk of approximately 1h30 to the Mirador de los Cuernos del Paine on the shores of Lake Nordenskjold. After this walk, continue in the vehicle to a new viewpoint, this time near Lake Pehoe, from where you will have one of the most famous views of the National Park, with the Horns and the French Valley in the background, framed by Lakes Pehoe and Nordenskjold, from There you will also see Mounts Paine Grande and Almirante Nieto.
