Photography Tips

  • The park covers over 180,000 hectares

Perfect Panoramic Tour

Since we aren't big hikers, the van tour was perfect. We saw every major lake and the waterfall. The pickup from our hotel in Puerto Natales was right on time.

You cannot visit Chile without seeing this. The Milodon Cave addition on the full-day tour was a great historical touch.

Be prepared for the wind! The tour was great, but the park is wild. The guide was very knowledgeable about the geology.
