The excursion starts early from Puerto Natales driving towards the border town of Cerro Castillo. It then sets off for a stop at the viewpoint of Lago Sarmiento, the largest lake of the park. When arriving at the Laguna Amarga gate, there is an excellent panoramic view of the towers del Paine before entering the park.
