Nordenskjold Lake

Formed by a melting glacier, this beautiful lake is a milky turquoise color, produced by the algae at the bottom.

Reviewed By Stephen47 - Leighton Buzzard, United Kingdom

We visited the Parque Nacional Torres del Paine last November staying at the excellent Hotel Lago Grey. The view from the window of our very comfortable room looked out across the Lago Grey to the mountains with the Glacier Grey to our left. The hotel's restaurant was very good and the staff pleasantly attentive. The journey to the National Park is very long - we came up from Punta Arenas - but it is well worth while. The turquoise of lakes and the blue and white of the mountains are awesome.

Lago Sarmiento

This lake is gateway to Torres Del Paine National Park when approaching from Puerto Natales. It is an awesome lake not to be missed when visiting the park. Spotted several guanacos around this lake.

Laguna Azul

Reviewed By feil675 - Houston, United States

The drive from Hotel Las Torres Patagonia to Azul was incredible: we saw a lot of Guanacos with three towers in the back. It was truly lovely walk/drive around .

Navigation of Lago Grey

Reviewed By SophiaK - Athens, Greece

It is a lovely boat ride to see the Glacier Grey. After leaving the parking area you have to walk approximately 40 minutes, through a rope bridge, a forested area and then approximately 2 kilometers of sand in order to get to the boat. As the wind was very strong during the day we visited, it was not an easy task to do. But viewing the glacier paid us off. Although it is not as grand as Perito Moreno, the backdrop of the jagged mountain tops creates a unique scenery. The deep blue colors of the glacier contrast the black of the volcanic rock and the milky color of the water creating a one of its kind landscape. The crew of the catamaran was very helpful, obsessed with safety as everyone HAD to wear life jackets once stepped outside and they offered exceptional pisco sours! Yes, it is a bit overpriced but the whole experience is unforgettable.

Lago Sofia

Reviewed By IMMR2018

Laguna Sofía is very near to Puerto Natales (20 minutes by car) and is great to hike for couple of hours to the top of the mountain. Also, you can find some climbing routes and is just on the shore of the lagoon, so is perfect for a pic nic lunch! To get there you need your own transportation as there is no public transport.
