Description
Embark on an unforgettable day trip from El Calafate to the legendary Torres del Paine National Park in Chile—one of South America’s most iconic natural treasures. This scenic and immersive experience is perfect for travelers eager to explore glaciers, turquoise lakes, waterfalls, and the famous Cuernos del Paine peaks. Your journey begins early in the morning with pickup from your hotel in El Calafate, heading southwest toward the Argentine-Chilean border. After passing through immigration and customs, you’ll meet your Chilean guide and continue the final 80 km drive into the national park. As you approach the park, the landscapes shift dramatically—glacial lakes, snowcapped peaks, and wildlife like guanacos and condors begin to fill the horizon. The first stop is at the Lago Sarmiento viewpoint, followed by the powerful Saltos del Río Paine, and a stop at the upper viewpoint of Cerro Almirante Nieto and the Cuernos del Paine, near the entrance to Laguna Amarga. Once inside the park, receive your boxed lunch and get ready for a series of short, low-difficulty hikes. Begin with a trail from Salto Grande that leads to the Mirador de Los Cuernos, located along the shores of the stunning Lake Nordenskjöld—a perfect spot for panoramic photos. The tour continues to Lake Pehoé, your final viewpoint, where you’ll have a spectacular view of the Cuernos del Paine and the entrance to the French Valley, two of the park’s most iconic features. As the day winds down, begin your journey back to El Calafate, enriched with stories from your guide about the geology, wildlife, and cultural history of this incredible region. This full-day excursion is ideal for those who want to see the best of Torres del Paine in one day, with the comfort of guided transport, curated stops, and incredible vistas throughout.Includes
