Transfer from Punta Arenas (either the airport or a hotel) to EcoCamp Patagonia, located in the world-famous Torres del Paine National Park during the morning.

Alternative transfer from Calafate, making a couple of stops. The first one is in Puerto Natales, a small, lively town on the shores of “Seno de Última Esperanza” to enjoy a hearty local lunch, and the second one in Cueva de Milodon, a massive prehistoric cave where the remains of a giant ground sloth were discovered in the 1890s. The whole journey is very scenic, with plenty of wild birds and wonderful landscapes to be seen.

Transfer to Sarmiento Lake’s western shore to begin walking down a trail from the road towards the Lake’s edge. Across the scenic shoreline, it is possible to see many birds and also the monument of the first man to film Patagonia by air in the 1920’s: Gunther Plüschow.
