Sarmiento & Amarga Entrances Trek

We will pick you up at your hotel in Puerto Natales to go to the Lago Sarmiento Entrance, where we will begin our trek of near 6 km (3.7 miles) -recommended to train for the Base of Torres del Paine Trek. We will follow a softly inclined track, with a view of the Sarmiento Lake, hunting area of the puma. After walking for 1 hour, we will see rock paintings of about 6000 years old. Hunter groups that were the first inhabitants of Patagonia frequented this place. Here we will rest and take pictures of the surroundings, while we listen to the local history. Then, we will go on to the Blanquillos Lagoon, nesting place of different birds. After 3 hours of trek, we will reach the Laguna Amarga Entrance, where we will be able to use the bathroom so then we can board our vehicle and go towards the Paine Waterfall, where we will be able to see the water color variation because of the sediment and minerals. Here we will enjoy our box lunch, with a view of the Torres del Paine. Finally, we will pass by the Cañadón Macho, natural habitat of guanacos' groups, in the way back to the city of Puerto Natales.
