down a rock face. Now there are plenty of hanging glaciers in Patagonia, but most of them are hard to access or not as large and raging as this one, and that’s what makes it special. Queulat National Park is located 22km outside the town of Puyuhuapi and costs 4,000 CLP to enter. To reach the lookout point, you’ll have to trudge through 3km of mud, so bring sturdy and waterproof shoes. You can also camp in the national park overnight to beat the crowds to the lookout point in the morning.Patagonia has so many glaciers that eventually I stopped counting or even pointing them out, but this was the first time I’d laid eyes on a glacial lake so blue, and that’s what made Cerro Castillo so special. The black rock, white glacier, and bright blue lake combined in a unique way compared to other famous hikes in Patagonia that didn’t have such dark, rocky mountains. It’s possible to hike there and back in one day, and though steep, the hike provides a gorgeous panoramic view of the surrounding multicolored hills that would make it worth the energy even without the glacier at the top.
