Nordenskjold Lake
10 min
Lake Nordenskjold, a pristine gem nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia, offers a captivating blend of tranquility and natural beauty.
Named after the Swedish geologist Otto Nordenskjold, this glacial lake boasts a striking deep blue hue that reflects the sky and surrounding mountains, creating a mesmerizing visual symphony. Fed by the Paine River, the lake's waters originate from the melting ice of the imposing Paine Massif, which adds a touch of purity to its allure.
Laguna Amarga
15 min
Laguna Amarga, a serene and captivating natural feature, graces the landscape of Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia. Its name, which translates to "Bitter Lagoon," hints at the unique character of this remarkable body of water.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Paine Massif, Laguna Amarga showcases a picturesque contrast between its tranquil surface and the rugged, imposing peaks that surround it. The lake's waters, often reflecting the intense blue of the Patagonian sky, offer a reflective sanctuary amid the wilderness.
While its name may evoke a sense of bitterness, Laguna Amarga's beauty is anything but. The subtle play of light on the lake's surface, especially during sunrise and sunset, transforms it into a canvas of ever-changing colors, inviting visitors to pause and absorb the magic of the moment.

Excellent trip!
An excellent excursion. The vehicle was very comfortable. The guide was flexible regarding the schedule and the choice of locations visited within the national park, adapting to our preferences. The guide provided us with a lot of information about the national park and life in Patagonia. Lunch was arranged at a small restaurant within the park offering a beautiful view, and it included a choice between two menus. Both were delicious.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed the day, the flexibility of the tour, and the lunch inside the park.

Excellent tour, Super recommended
GREAT EXPERIENCE! This tour guided by Gerardo and accompanied by Felipe was extraordinary. We had only one day available and Gerardo showed us everything and explained every detail of nature, fauna and very enjoyable stories. Comfortable vehicle and very punctual at all stops. They know Torres del Paine perfectly well and show the best views. Super recommended! Gerardo owns the Enterprise and that makes a big difference!

OUTSTANDING! Gerardo and Wilson picked us up right on time for our day trip to Torres del Paine. It was such a pleasant day, Gerardo was so knowledgeable and personable. My daughter really wanted to see a puma and Gerardo and Wilson did their best to find one. It was a long day, but one we'll always treasure. Thank you!

Excellent day tour of the area!
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. We had a few days in Punta Arenas before our Antarctica trip and we wanted to dip our toes into Patagonia. We knew we could not do it proper justice but this tour is as close as it comes!
They picked us up promptly at 6am at our hotel and then stopped at all the major points so we could take pictures. I felt like we did Torres del Paine. We also did the Cueva del Milodón which was pretty awesome!
The tour guide was honestly amazing and I highly recommend him. He knew his geology, botany, and history.
It was a whirlwind tour but worth every dollar. We got such amazing pictures. And there were very thoughtful bathroom breaks and an amazing place to stop for lunch, I would recommend this to anyone who had limited time in the area! We left at 6am and got back at almost 8pm and worth every minute. So glad this tour exists!

Great private tour with Amigos Patagonia
This was a great tour with Gerardo and Caesar. They were able to pick us up in Puerto Natales at our hotel and drop us off at the Punta Arenas airport in time for our 9pm flight with no issue. I would highly recommend Amigos Patagonia, professional, on-time, and fantastic guiding. We also saw a puma, lizard, condors, and hawks on our tour which was amazing.

Unparallel service
Actually we did not make the tour with Amigos Patagonia as we had a last minute change in the itinerary of our ship. I felt very bad as Gerardo had done a lot of work for us and we could only cancel 40 hours in advance. All without cost. I offered to compensate at least for a part of the inconvenience, but Gerardo refused. Fantastic service from this professional company that I can only highly recommend. Hope to return one day. And then I know whom to contact. Thank you very much.

He made us feel safe at all times. This tour absolutely exceeded our expectations. We're ready to do it all over again. Thank you Amigos Patagonia!

Great day at Torres del Paine
We had a great experience going to Torres del Paine. The trip is long from Punta Arenas, but our guide Cristian and driver Cesar made it very comfortable. The national park is beautiful!, We had limited time, so did a 1 day tour, next time we would like to stay at the park for a days.

Great tour!
If I could give 6 stars, I would! What a wonderful day! The company name is so fitting, since it was like taking a fun road trip with good friends! Gerardo is amazing - so full of great stories, a wealth of information, and so knowledgeable about the area! And our driver, Cesar was so great! We learned so much about the area, the culture, the geology, and the wildlife - and both went above and beyond to try and help us get some great wildlife pictures. It was definitely a long day, but we're so glad we took the trip and got a taste of beautiful Torres del Paine (now we know we need to come back!)
Fun side note - we were wandering around Punta Arenas the following day, and our driver Cesar happened to see us - he waved and pulled over to see if we needed help finding anything, and offered to give us a ride (we declined - but what a kind offer!) This speaks volumes of the character and kindness of these folks.
Highly recommend Amigos Patagonia!

Breathtaking and Interesting
Gerardo Jaque was an amazing tour guide for our Torres Del Paine expedition! He and his wonderful driver took us to the most beautiful places. He even took photos on his nice camera and sent them to me. It was an incredible day. We highly recommend taking his tours.
