What a wonderful world
Cuernos del Paine are the most famous group of summits in Torres del Paine National Park. The Torres themselves might be steeper, higher, and harder to climb, but are hidden deep inside the mountain range and often covered by clouds. So, are the Cuernos, defiantly towering above Lago Nordenskjöld, who eventually got all the pictures.
The best views of this spectacular set of mountains can be enjoyed from the so-called Mirador de Los Cuernos or ‘Cuernos viewpoint’, an easy hike from Salto Grande, the most important waterfall within the national park.
On this excursion we will drive along the main road of the Torres del Paine National Park, stop at the viewpoints, Laguna Amarga, and Lago Nordenskjöld, walk to Salto Grande, and then continue hiking towards Los Cuernos Viewpoint to enjoy the most famous view of the national park.
This excursion is specially designed to get the best of the panoramic drive in between the lakes toping with the spectacular hike to Los Cuernos Viewpoint.
Walking information: Hiking in the park over uneven terrain and flat soil. Walk to Los Cuernos Viewpoint is approx. 6.5km return, on an easy mountain track that ascents approx. +60m. The walk includes a stop in Salto Grande waterfall.
