Explorations in
El Chaltén

We take the van to the southern sector of the Lake of the Desert to begin hiking through a rainforest, where we will begin our ascent to Laguna Huemul, at the foot of the Glacier. We will pass through some clearings along the way where we will see the waterfalls that come down from the glaciers. We return along the same trail, with a panoramic view of the Laguna Huemul, Mount Fitz Roy and the Las Vueltas River valley.

We begin by crossing the Eléctrico River and gradually enter a great nothofagus forest, accompanied by Patagonian birdsong the entire time. We then change landscape and move on to the sandy riverbanks of the Eléctrico River, with views of glaciers and mountain ranges up to Lake Eléctrico. We return along the same trail, which will give us other views of the valley.

We hike from the lodge crossing a lenga and ñire forest, watching different types of birds and huemul deer tracks. We hike up to the Azul Lagoon, a water reserve that will reveal what has happened there. Different water birds will follow us along during this hike.

We leave by van for Laguna Cóndor, where we will be able to observe and learn from the behavior of different types of birds in this region. The sector is home to a great diversity of birds, including some that can only be seen on this trail. We then hike through an ancient rainforest, whose characteristics make it a great place to see different types of owls.

We will walk through a rainforest area, where biodiversity plays a key role. The route includes a gentle ascent along a rocky ledge, which will give us unique views and perspectives of the Las Vueltas River valley. Diverse birds can be observed in the Laguna sector.

We take a slightly rugged track from the lodge to the Azul lagoon.

We cross the Blanco river valley, then we hike up to the los tres lagoon. Enjoy an impressive view of Mount Fitz Roy.

We hike in the northernmost tip of the lake and take a rugged track through the forest, reaching some of the most unexplored parts of this area.

We cross the desierto lake- this historical lake- while enjoying the view of the Vespigniani Glacier.

We hike through forests and valleys up to the Los Tres Lagoon.

We begin in the south area of the Los Glaciares National Park, taking a trail to different valleys and a rise with a broad view to the Torre Mount.

From one of the accesses to El Chaltén, we hike up a trail and get an ample view to the Torre Mount.

After a hike, we enjoy a view to the Piedras Blancas Glacier while learning about its history, formation, and dynamics.

We walk to the Los Glaciares National Park through a trail surrounded by forests with views to the area’s glaciers.

We begin this exploration hiking up the Loma del Diablo ridge, which will give us sweeping views of both the Diablo River valley as well as the Las Vueltas River valley. We will reach a high-altitude ecosystem with a dwarf forest, rocks and sandy banks, where we can register the magnitude of the environment we are in.
