One of the classic and can’t be missed walks in Los Glaciares National Park.
You will enjoy an impressive view of the Cerro Torre massif, the mountain ranges and the glaciers that surround it.
The footpath will take us through a wide range of landscapes, ranging from wide glacially formed valleys to dense forests, in addition to visiting one of the most famous base camps in the history of world mountaineering.
This adventure begins as you meet the guide at your hotel and set off from El Chaltén towards the captivating trail to Laguna Torre.
The first hour takes you along a gently ascending path that leads to the Cerro Torre viewpoint. Here, you’ll be greeted by an unforgettable panorama of the granite massif and its glistening glaciers—a perfect spot to pause, take photographs, and soak in the majesty of these iconic peaks.
After approximately two more hours of pleasant, leisurely walk, you’ll arrive at Laguna Torre, a stunning glacial lake cradled by rugged peaks. The closer perspective of the Cerro Torre massif, along with the striking Cordón Adela, Cerro Solo, and their surrounding glaciers, offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the raw power and beauty of this untamed land.
At the lagoon, you’ll have time to rest, enjoy a snack, and take in the tranquil atmosphere of this remote and untouched paradise, before retracing your steps along the same trail.
