    Traditional trail to the lake in front of Cerro Torre. Although the distance can be considered long, this is a quite easy walk as it is relatively flat.

    We just follow the way up from the waterfall eventually crossing with Fitz Roy miradouro. Really cool sights of the different waterfalls upstream and always with the Fitz Roy in the background.

    Loop not possible! End at waterfall, road closed

    This trek is the "Fitz Roy trek" but doing the other way around. You get to see the El Chalten cerro (also known as Fitz Roy) from every angle. In a clear day like the day we did you see the whole trek up to El lago de l...

    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 S...

    In a really sunny day, we were lucky to do this hiking. It started at the bridge and we went first to the top. When going down we wandered a little and found a fossile. Some minutes later someone told us about a couple ...
