1 Day • Horseback Ride Laguna Azul
|
|
We pick you up from your accommodation in Puerto Natales
early in the morning, and we head to Torres del Paine
National Park in a private transfer. For the next two
hours on the way to the Park, your guide will point out
how the landscape changes from the ice field to the Patagonia
steppe. You will be fascinated by the variety of animals
that you’ll see, including herds of guanaco, and if we’re
lucky, rhea, foxes, pumas and the majestic condor.
Our horseback riding adventure begins at Estancia Tercera
Barranca, where the horses will be saddled and waiting
for us. During the first two hours, we ride in the direction
of Laguna Azul, stopping to visit Las Chínas River
and waterfall on the way.
Laguna Azul has one of the best views of the three Paine
towers Patagonia. We eat lunch here and enjoy the breathtaking
view of the Paine massif beside the lake. We then ride
to Laguna Amarga, arriving there two hours later. Here
we visit one of the most famous lookout points in Torres
del Paine, giving us classic postcard panoramas of the
Park. Our vehicle will be waiting to take us back to Puerto
Natales.
