Itinerary description

The Huemul Circuit is currently my favorite hike in the world, so a return trip to Patagonia meant I'd head back there to hike it a second time. We spent 4 days and 3 nights hiking around Cerro Huemul with views of the Southern Patagonia Ice Field, Glaciar Viedma, and Glaciar Río Túnel starting from the town of El Chaltén in Argentina during January 2019 to bring in the New Year.

    They would not be able to do this hike without camping. There are plenty of other day hikes around El Chalten they can do.
