Description

Experience one of the most stunning locations in the Patagonian Andes through this remarkable trek to the Cagliero Glacier, where breathtaking sceneries await you.

Cagliero Glacier Trek

At the scheduled time, our team will collect you from your accommodation in El Chaltén before we set off towards Los Huemules Reserve, situated approximately 10 miles (16 km) away.

Once we enter Los Glaciares National Park, we will embark on an unforgettable trek. The initial segment guides us through picturesque forests, leading to spectacular views of the Fitz Roy mountain, which towers over 11,000 feet. This segment ends at Laguna del Diablo (The Devil's Lagoon), where we’ll don our harnesses and helmets in preparation for ascending the via Ferrata.

After successfully navigating the steep slopes, you will feel a sense of achievement upon reaching the Vivac Cagliero base camp. Here, we will equip ourselves with crampons and embark on a two-hour hike across the majestic glacier.

Following the thrilling experience of walking on the ice, we will retrace our steps back to Los Huemules, giving you an opportunity to enjoy a meal (not included). Finally, we will transport you back to your hotel in El Chaltén, completing a journey that spans a total of 10 hours.
