The hike starts at the lodge through a well-marked upward track, surrounded by low shrubs and ample views. Orchids follow along during the summertime. We get to see some hidden lagoons in the Torres del Paine National Park, condor nesting sites, and some forests. We get a front view of the Paine massif, until we get to the Sarmiento Chico Lake to examine rock formations of a protracted geological history. We return to the lodge by van.
