At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in El Calafate and head south onboard an all-terrain truck.
Once we've crossed the extensive Patagonian steppes through an old section of the famous Route 40 called "La Cortada", we'll arrive at the gorgeous Torres del Paine National Park. We'll start our tour of this stunning natural area of Chile at the viewpoint located on the shores of Sarmiento Lake.
