Interesting facts about this location
Sarmiento Lake
Sarmiento Lake is a lake located in Torres del Paine National Park, in the Magallanes Region of southern Chile. The lake is named after Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa who was a Spanish explorer. This lake also names one of the different areas in the National Park Torres del Paine. The lake literally looks as if it has a ring around it. A brief examination of the deposits and their distribution suggests a possible explanation: the hypothesis is that the lake has experienced hydrothermal activity.

Del Toro Lake
Del Toro Lake (Spanish: Lago del Toro) is a lake located in the Magallanes Region, southern Chile. Also known as Lago del Toro or Lago Toro, its etymology comes from the lake's ability to generate 4 m swells due to a long (~30 km) fetch and high winds aligned with the long axis of the lake. Locals say that the lake and the nearby mountain Sierra del Toro is named thus because the lake 'is angry a lot' ("porque se enoja mucho!"). Services on the lake include camping and fishing at Bahia el Bote.
Located at -51.23 -72.75 (Lat./Long.); Less than 17 km away
