This tour connects two of the four access points to Torres del Paine National Park, allowing you to visit a little-known area that is highly attractive for wildlife viewing. Its landscape is undoubtedly worth exploring. Upon entering the park through the Lago Sarmiento entrance, we&#39;ll begin our trail with a gentle incline and side views of the imposing lake of the same name. Almost the entire route borders private property, a frequent habitat for the region&#39;s largest predator: the puma. After about an hour&#39;s walk, we&#39;ll reach a rock shelter where we can see a series of cave paintings over 6,000 years old. The conditions of this area allowed it to be frequented by indigenous groups for thousands of years as they searched for food across the American continent. Here, we&#39;ll be able to photograph the landscape and understand the rugged geography associated with the rise of high peaks and expanses of land toward the east. After a two-hour hike, we&#39;ll reach the park&#39;s main entrance: the Laguna Amarga entrance. Before beginning the descent through conglomerate rocks, we&#39;ll observe the winding shape of the Paine River. After a stop for services, we&#39;ll return to the vehicle and continue on to the Paine Waterfall area. The journey continues towards Cañadón Macho, an area where it is possible to observe large groups of guanacos living alongside species such as the rhea, the gray fox, the condor, the black-faced eagle, among others. Having completed our journey through this extensive valley, we will begin our return to the city of Puerto Natales with the feeling of having experienced a true journey of adventure, far from the crowds and immersed in the wilds of Southern Patagonia.
