This "small" lake is named after the Swedish explorer and botanist Carl Skottsberg, who studied the region at the very beginning of the 20th century.

The landscape changes again. On the way between Grande Paine and Campamento Italiano you hike between the lake and the mountains. And what mountains: the Cuernos del Paine.
A stretch of the path that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Wild and graceful at the same time, the Cuernos stretch their dark peaks into the clouds. What a sight, what charisma - simply wow.
