We begin our hike near the National Park office on the edge of town and take a well-marked trail towards Laguna Toro (Bull lake) and the Paso del Viento. After an hour of steady ascent along small streams and forests of ñires and Lenga trees, we arrive at a wide-open area with a perfect postcard of the Fitz Roy, Torre and Huemul mountains. The trail continues through the Pampa de las Carretas plain before diving into a forest of old trees, where it steadily climbs towards our destination. Upon suddenly leaving this forest, we begin to hike through a completely different landscape. This part of our trek passes through terrain that is relatively steep and rocky. While at first it seems completely barren, if we look closely we will see a variety of amazing small and colorful flowers. This Loma originated at the bottom of the sea and was raised to its current position through the tectonic forces that are actively creating the Andes mountain range. It is, therefore, possible to see marine fossils such as ammonites and belemnites that are hundreds of millions of years old. When we arrive at the viewpoint, we will have an amazing view of the Fitz Roy river valley, Cerro Fitz Roy, and Cerro Torre with Glacier Grande spilling down to its base. It is a truly remarkable viewpoint. If the weather allows, we will stop at this privileged setting to rest and have lunch. If we are lucky, we may even witness a Condor flying in the area. When we are ready, we will return to El Chaltén.

Included: Expert mountain guide

Not included: box lunch
