The Excursion

The tour begins in El Chaltén at 8:00 am, where our vehicle will pick you up to go to the head of the trail located 16 km away, at Estancia Los Huemules, a private nature reserve on the way to Lago del Desierto.

In the first hour and a half of trekking you will visit the native forest of Lenga. Once in the Lagoon, our guides will deliver the necessary equipment for the Ferrata route. Then, continue along the path bordering the lagoon through a stony terrain, more irregular, until you reach the Ferrata route.

The Vía Ferrata are sectors of rock with little difficulty that have previously been prepared with artificial steps and steel cables. At this point our guides will explain how to use the harness to move through the road autonomously, safely and accompanied at all times by them. At the end of the road, you will reach the front of the glacier, where it is time to put on the crampons to start the trekking on the glacier, which lasts approximately 3 hours.

At the end of the walk on the glacier, we go to the Vivac Cagliero, our domes geodesic where you will be waiting for a hot drink. Then, we start the return by the same route reaching the head of the trail at the entrance of the Los Huemules reserve around 17:30 hs. The vehicle will be waiting to return to El Chaltén.
