Lake Pehoé (Lago Pehoé) is the star of Torres del Paine's luminous lakes, its milky turquoise waters setting off the mad jagged peaks
of the Paine Massif. It's also the easiest Lake to get to, with an eastern shore flanked by the road from Puerto Natales. Three lakeshore hotels compete for Best View.
Puerto Natales in Patagonia Chile is about 150 miles north of Pehoe. Buses run twice a day, during the summer season - 7am and 2.30pm. The Journey takes about two hours. Alternatively, if you your have own vehicle, take the Y156 road from Puerto Natales passes close by.
Lago Pehoé is just off the access road to Torres del Paine, and it has perhaps the best range of accommodation in the Park, including a luxury hotel, a hosteria, a refugio and a camp site.
In the west corner is Refugio Paine Grande, the least attractive of the three. Still, views east are pretty good, although they miss out on the best of the Paine Massif, which is to the north.
