Each time the sun rises and sets, Patagonia shows its colours. The first dawn of our trip will be at Lago Sarmiento, boasting unique formations known as thrombolites – natural sculptures on the lakeshore. Following breakfast, the group heads out towards Amarga Lagoon, passing through Cañadon Macho, an area with many guanacos. Next, the safari continues across the Patagonian pampa to reach Azul Lagoon, with its woody shores and clear blue waters. From here there is an incredible view as the lake reflects the towers and the Paine massif.

After a picnic lunch, we'll use our cameras to capture the great variety of birds and foxes as we hike around the lake. We'll return to the Tierra Patagonia Hotel in time to photograph the sunset.

Following lunch back at the hotel, we'll head out to Laguna Verde and Estancia Lazo for wonderful views of the Cuernos (Horns) of Paine. We'll walk through the Magellanic forest and enjoy this magical spot at the end of the world and take the opportunity to capture some great sunset shots.

We'll leave the hotel  very early to watch the sunrise on the shore of Lake Nordenskjold, a lake with unique colours and superb views of the Valle del Frances and the Paine massif. We'll have our breakfast in these other worldly surroundings before heading out on a trek to Lago Sarmiento. After a picnic lunch, we'll visit Lago Pehoe which offers the perfect location to see the reflection of the Cuernos Del Paine in its crystal clear waters. You'll find few other places in the world where the colour of the bodies of water contrast so much with an incredible mountain backdrop; this really is a photographer's heaven.

There will also be time to see one of the most impressive waterfalls in Torres Del Paine at Salto Grande and from here we'll hike for 2hrs towards Glacier Paine Grande and a wonderful view of the legendary horns, or Cuernos del Paine, from a fantastic viewpoint.
