아르헨티나 최고의 등산 경로

No glacier gear! Good hiking shoes and poles for the last part. Roberto Manglavite

From here you have a beautiful view of the glacier. It's located on a road that leads to Fitz Roy. If you want to go to the lagoon, you must take the other road at the fork.

One of the best viewpoints to admire the Piedras Blancas glacier, one of the most impressive in the entire mountain range.

From this viewpoint, the views open up towards large rock walls that protect the valley through which the Las Vueltas river flows, creating a wide landscape that makes a stop worthwhile.

The views from the trail are very beautiful: El Chaltén is in the background, protected by rocky walls and decorated by green vegetation and the river that accompanies the landscape.

At this checkpoint, you currently have to buy a ticket for no less than 45 euros. This makes many hikers early risers. Many also start their hike at sunset and return late to El Chaltén. There are no checkpoints inside the park.

The path up here is rocky and very steep and took longer than I thought, the view is fantastic.

Please note, as the time of writing(Dec 2024) entrance to the park and hence hike costs 45000 ARS. Multi days tickets are available and are a bit cheaper.
