Regionalmente se reconocen en el paisaje un conjunto de terrazas lacustres vinculadas a las fluctuaciones glaciares. Las evidencias geomorfológicas y sedimentarias lacustres encontradas apoyan la existencia de un único lago proglacial denominado en el presente estudio como Gran Paleo-Lago Tehuelche (GPT), mejoran la cronología de los eventos glaciales y permiten una comprensión de la evolución del sistema hidrológico de Torres del Paine. Los avances glaciares previamente denominados por Marden (1993) como A, B y C, se desarrollaron durante el Último Máximo Glacial y alimentaron al GPT con aguas de fusión, permitiéndole al lago alcanzar su mayor extensión y altitud. El hallazgo de trombolitos en Laguna Amarga fue clave para determinar que el desagüe del GPT hacia el Seno de Última Esperanza se produjo hace 7110 años calibrados antes del presente (años cal AP) producto de la fusión de una gran barrera glacial existente durante el avance E, que posteriormente dio paso al complejo sistema hidrológico de ríos y lagos existente.

  • Excursions with Tierra Patagonia
    Excursions with Tierra Patagonia “Why then and this is not only my particular case – does this barren land possess my mind? I find it hard to explain…. but it might partly be because it enhances the horizons of imagination.” Charles Darwin. Located on the eastern border of the Torres del Paine Park, (a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve), Tierra Patagonia Hotel and Spa sits in one of the most commanding settings anywhere on the planet. The Hotel lies a little over 400 meters from Lago Sarmiento, the biggest lake inside the national park. This is where your exploration of Patagonia begins, surrounded by interesting geological formations, abundant native flora and fauna and with the Paine Massif ever present. Tierra Patagonia’s excursions are led by qualified and experienced guides; with them you will be able to experience varied activities such as treks, horse rides, scenic trips and bicycle rides to world famous locations and also to areas less travelled. The activities are divided into 3 levels of difficulty: • Easy: for all ages and ability. • Medium: requiring a reasonable level of fitness and experience. • High: this activity requires good level of fitness, experience and ability. Every day you will be able to choose between two half day excursions or one full day excursion. • Half day: offered in the morning and/or afternoon, lunch at the hotel. • Full day: start in the morning and we provide with a box lunch, returning to the hotel in the afternoon generally after 18.00 hrs.

  • THE LAST FRONTIER (14D-13N) 5N Estancias - 2N Riverside Domes - 2N Hotels - 4N Camping Star / End Punta Arenas
    THE LAST FRONTIER (14D-13N) 5N Estancias - 2N Riverside domes - 2N Hotels - 4N Camping Star / End Punta Arenas Cowboy Up: This horseback ride through Torres del Paine and Bernardo O’Higgins National Parks in the stark southern region of Patagonia made veteran traveler Bryan Rees feel like a bona fide cowpuncher. “Drinking mate [traditional herb drink] with gauchos around a fire, cutting pieces of lamb off a spit, and learning to saddle a horse were moments that made the trip feel real and not planned.” These 11 days riding give you time to experience seven Patagonian Estancias in the surrounding areas of Torres del Paine & Bernardo O’Higgins National Park. You will enjoy the estancias' homey feeling and comfort, sharing together with local people a delicious lamb barbecue cooked in the Patagonian style. Highlights include amazing views of the famous Torres, 4 glaciers, Lake Sarmiento and the opportunity to gallop along the magnificent prairie areas called Pampas. Day 1 Transfer Punta Arena’s airport – Estancia Lago Sofia We suggest you take the early flight Santiago - Punta Arenas (4 hours), flying over Los Andes and observing incredible views of the Patagonian Ice Fields. Upon your arrival to Punta Arenas, considered the most southern city on the continent, a private transfer will be waiting to drive you to the surrounding areas of Puerto Natales. As we leave the airport we will be able to see the Straights of Magellan and the mystic Tierra del Fuego. During a 3-hour trip we will drive through open pampas and huge ranches (estancias), and chances are we will be able to observe one of the most typical animals in this area, the ñandu, (rare South American ostrich).

Then we head back to the administration center to get an introduction to the park. We continue our trip through a forest zone following the path that this impressive glacier carved into the landscape long ago. Along the route witness blue icebergs which have broken off from the glacier and are now floating in the lake. Will make stops to see and photograph some of the wildlife of the park including: Guanacos, foxes (which are common and tame enough to get with 2-3 meters), Darwin's Rheas, colorful plovers, black-necked swans, and much more. We continue our trip north until we arrive to the Paine River, which is the main tributary in the area and will guide us through the lake system in the National Park.
