Exploration Path
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.
The Desert Lake (Argentina) is a wildlife enclave around which numerous Patagonian ecosystems can be observed and explored.
