This easy-going, predominantly flat trek boasts stunningly diverse natural scenery and offers the chance to feast your eyes upon a startlingly blue lake, which is secluded from all the other water systems of the area. There will be ample opportunity to spot many graceful guanacos and great grebes along the way. First we will examine the geology of the area’s turbidite rock folds, before descending the isthmus which separates Lake Sarmiento from Lake Sarmiento Chico (the two lakes were once a single mass of water), walking along a slight slope, and ambling beside the eastern edge of Lake Sarmiento Chico. We will eventually arrive at an impressive bay on the western side of Lake Sarmiento, admiring a breath-taking view which could easily be mistaken for a piece of art! We will also be able to study the area’s characteristic calcium deposits here. Then begins our ascent back to the van, and along the way we will stumble across an awe-inspiring, panoramic vista of Lake Sarmiento from its western shore, looking towards its eastern coast glimmering on the horizon.

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll set off from Ecocamp towards Hostería Las Torres and join the uphill path to Ascencio Valley on the Tower's eastern face. Dry mountain spots, beech forests and small rivers line the scenic walk towards the valley. Our big challenge comes as we climb the steep moraine, a mass of boulders leading us towards one of the world's most famous views overlooking the Towers. The famous Torres del Paine (2,850 m/ 9,350 ft) consist of three gigantic granite monoliths, the remains of a great cirque sheared away by the forces of glacial ice. After an uphill slog, the Towers eventually come into full view, rising majestically before us with the glacial lake visible below. Is there any better place in the world to have lunch? After feasting on the view and our picnic, we’ll backtrack along the same trail through Ascencio Valley and return to EcoCamp. Estimated walking time: 8-10 hours.

We will board the catamaran that will take us to the north-western sector of the lake, where we will begin the challenging trek to Valle Frances (French Valley) along a steep trail that leads to the very heart of the Paine Massif. We will ascend toward a lookout that will allow us to be amazed at the beauty of the Paine Massif. After our upward trek, we will pause for a picnic and relax a while. This day's adventure will end as we descend through an undulating terrain of mixed grassland and light forest, which will take us to Refugio Paine Grande, located on the peaceful shores of Lake Pehoe. From here, we will board the catamaran, which will take us back to Pudeto, where we will be collected and transported back to EcoCamp.

We start off driving across the park, admiring the view of Paine Grande and its snowy peaks, and Los Cuernos with its black, granite horn-like spires. We will drive up to Grey Lake and wander along its gravel beach. Here we'll embark on a catamaran to ride across the icy waters towards the towering blue walls of Grey glacier. After this incredible up-close look at the glacier, we drive back to EcoCamp. Please be aware that the Grey glacier boat trip is subject to availability and weather conditions. (During shoulder season: September, October & April, the boat trip to Grey glacier may be canceled as the boat requires a minimum of 15 passengers to sail, which might not be reached in some cases. If this is the case we will plan an alternative excursion in the park.)

We begin the drive to Lake Grey where you should pause and raise your eyes to the huge peaks of the east. This wind-swept rock monster is Cerro Ferrier which, standing at 1.599 m./5. 246 ft., makes a rewarding (but intense) hike. First, you’ll pass through a forest that gives a fascinating insight into the diversity of austral trees. Here you’ll meet all the classics, lenga, coihue, ñire, and if you’re lucky you’ll meet the famous South American deer, the huemul, which is a national natural monument (keen-eyed watchers will remember it from the Chilean coat of arms).

We’ll start our day at 8:00 am with breakfast at EcoCamp and a moment to prepare our Box Lunch before boarding our van at 9:00 am. Our ride takes us past the Lazo Weber Estancia where we’ll enter the National Park via Laguna Verde and begin our hike. The Lazo Weber Trail is packed with native flora and wildlife all with the mountainous Paine range on our right. The hike is rather easy and apart from a few hills, the trail remains rather flat. We’ll stop a moment to refuel by the magical Laguna Honda and enjoy the sights and sensations of the gorgeous landscape and fresh breeze. On our way, we will hike through one of the quietest forests in the national park, a fantastic opportunity to observe native trees such as the Lenga and the Coihue.

The rest of our hike takes us to a lookout point (El Toro Lookout) where we’ll be wowed with a 360 degree view of the Paine mountain range, the Patagonian Andes, and a suite of rivers and lakes (including the Paine, Grey, and Serrano Rivers, and Lake Toro, the largest in the region). An hour’s descent* towards Paine River will see us reunited with our van. But before we go back to EcoCamp, we’ll search for more animals to photograph and take a final moment to enjoy the scenery. At about 6:30 pm, we’ll arrive back at our “dome sweet dome”, ready to share in a tasty dinner and talk about our day hiking the Lazo Weber Trail.

*Please have in mind that the last part of the trail may be difficult for people that experiences vertigo, as there is a steep descent through gravel until we get to the van.

*Please note: If the weather is not good, an alternative excursion will be provided.

Embarking on a new day after a satisfying breakfast at Ecocamp, we eagerly make our way towards the enchanting Estancia Dos Elianas. Immersed in the beauty of this rustic paradise, we are greeted with a brief but informative session on horse riding, equipping us with the knowledge and safety measures necessary for our adventure.

Around noon, our taste buds are tantalized as we indulge in a delectable lunch featuring succulent roasted lamb and an array of mouthwatering preparations. Energized and satisfied, we embark on a captivating tour of the Estancia, immersing ourselves in the rich traditions of Patagonia. Witnessing the arrieros in action, tending to their flock, shearing wool, and gracefully riding horses, we gain a newfound appreciation for their hard work. As the day nears its end, we gather for another delightful meal, savoring sopaipillas, jam, cheese, and bread, all lovingly prepared using local ingredients. With hearts full of memories and stomachs content, we bid farewell to this mesmerizing haven and make our way back to Ecocamp, arriving at our cozy domes around 5:00 pm, cherishing the experiences of a truly beautiful day.

Once we have enjoyed a delicious breakfast, we set off on an exhilarating journey towards the enchanting Laguna Inge.

As we venture along this picturesque path, we are greeted by a kaleidoscope of vibrant flora and fauna, and if luck is on our side, we may even catch a glimpse of majestic condors gracefully soaring above us. This heart-pounding excursion allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the captivating beauty of the park's central lakes, while also admiring the magnificent horns that adorn the awe-inspiring Paine massif. The pace of our adventure is determined by the group, which means we can reach the Cuernos Lookout (8 km./5 mi. away from Ecocamp) or the Cuernos refuge (13 km/8 mi. away from Ecocamp).

Departing from Ecocamp, we'll go on an excursion that connects two of the four accesses to Torres del Paine National Park. Starting at the Lago Sarmiento gate, we'll walk along a gentle incline, with views of the impressive lake. Along the way, we'll pass private land, a hunting area for the region's largest predator, the puma. After an hour, we'll stumble upon an overhang adorned with ancient cave paintings, dating back over 6,000 years. These fascinating artworks were crafted by the Aonikenk people, the wise predecessors of these vast lands, who shared their traditions and deep connection with nature through these primitive yet profound drawings.. Here, we can photograph the surroundings and understand the rugged geography. After two hours, we'll reach the main access to the park, Laguna Amarga gate, where we can observe the sinuous shape of the Paine River.
