Travel Tip: Patagonia - Torres del Paine Nordenskjold Lake

5 stars
Published on Mar 20, 2008 by Sinbad the sailor for Torres del Paine Natural Park

Nordenskjold was a Finnish-Swedish explorer from the XIX century – he went across North America, Patagonia and also Antarctica. Just in front of the most majestic peaks of Torres del Paine stands its blue milk glacial lake waters.

You need to walk about 2 hours from the last place where a car can go to – in order to reach this lake. The walk is quite beautiful though, passing some water cascades and really nice flora areas.

Because the altitude is considerable, use ultraviolet protector – to avoid sunburns. If you like to swim remember the water may be cold, say 6-7 C only!! If you go down to the edge of the lake, there is a small sandy beach to relax a bit.
