We will pick you up with our private vehicle at 7:00 am from your accomodation, to drive towards Torres del Paine National Park, on a road (115 km/72 miles) across beautiful, wide landscapes: pampas, forests, steppe, and mountainous areas, all molded by ancient glaciers. During two hours we will be driving amongst Magellanic “estancias” (huge ranches), and we might meet a sheep herd moving along the road with the whistling of “gauchos” on horses and the barking of their many dogs. After an hour of driving we will make a brief stop at Cerro Castillo, a small village rich in gaucho culture on the border with Argentina. From here we continue our trip for one more hour on gravel road, which makes it easier to spot and observe wildlife such as guanacos, rheas, foxes, flamingos, caracaras, eagles and condors if we are lucky. As we get close to the Park we will make several stops to admire and photograph magnificent sceneries like Lake Sarmiento and Laguna Amarga in front of the Massif Paine.

We go into the Park through the Laguna Amarga entrance, to start our journey from east to west on the Park’s main road (46 km/30 miles) visiting various lookouts, admiring Mount Almirante Nieto with its hanging glaciers together with the mythical Torres del Paine, three imposing granite giants rising 2850 m/9,100ft into the sky.

We will hit the road one more time to head towards west and then north, already admiring the Valley “del Francés” and Mount Paine Grande (3,050m/10,040ft), highest summit in the Park. We will cross over the rivers Paine and Grey, watching the interesting changes in perspective of the Paine mountains, and discovering Mount Balmaceda and the Andes as we drive.
