Description
We’ll leave Puerto Natales and head to Torres del Paine National Park for an unforgettable adventure. Our hike begins at Lago Sarmiento Gate, covering a 6 km trail, perfect as a warm-up for the famous Base Torres Trek.
This gentle trail offers stunning views of Lake Sarmiento, a known puma hunting ground. After one hour, you’ll reach an archaeological site with 6,000-year-old cave paintings, created by the first Patagonian settlers. You’ll pause here to rest, take photos, and learn about local history.
You’ll continue towards Laguna Blanquillos, a bird nesting site, and then to Laguna Amarga Gate, before visiting Paine Waterfall, where mineral sediments paint the water in vibrant colors. Here, you’ll enjoy your box lunch with a breathtaking view of the Torres del Paine.
On the way back, we’ll pass through Cañadón Macho, home to herds of guanacos, before returning to Puerto Natales.

The entrance fee for Torres del Paine National Park must necessarily be bought not later than the day before the excursion, in https://www.pasesparques.cl/en. At the moment of the pickup, the guide will ask for the entrance fees to all passengers, including children and adults over the age of 60. If one of them does not have the tickets, he or she will not be able to make the tour and there will be no refund.
The entrance fee is valid for 3 consecutive days, so you can re-enter without paying again, as long as you pass for one of the entrances so valid your ticket.
The Torres del Paine Full Day Tour is a panoramic tour suitable for all travelers, including a visit to the Milodon Cave Natural Monument and the park’s most iconic viewpoints, with most of the sightseeing done by vehicle. In contrast, the Sarmiento & Amarga Entrancea Trek is an easy hike that connects both park entrances through a less-traveled trail, allowing visitors to discover different landscapes and enjoy unique perspectives of Torres del Paine. Both experiences are different and complementary. While the Full Day Tour focuses on comfortably visiting the park’s main attractions, the Sarmiento & Amarga Trek offers a more immersive nature experience, ideal for those who enjoy hiking and exploring quieter areas of the park.
