Cerro Torre

After walking through no-man’s land, you’ll arrive in El Chaltén, which will have more
tourists — but upon hiking the trails, it will become obvious why. The mountains are super unique-looking, huge, and full of glaciers. Plus, this is a much more accessible part of Patagonia, connecting to Argentina’s larger and more-traveled Ruta 40.
The trail from town to the Cerro Torre is pretty flat and easy for most of the trek, but it is long, at 22km total. The whole way there, you’ll encounter various views and photo-ops of the Cerro Torre before arriving at the lake just before the famous mountain. It’s the only one in the area with three continuous peaks, popular with skilled rock climbers.
