There are a variety of views from the steppe to the forest. So then, from huge glacier moraines to colorful lakes. Also, the views from Agachonas pass and del Viento pass; make this program a unique and fantastic way to explore the best of this National Park.
Following then, from the imposing and stunning views of the Mt. Fitzroy to the beautifully clear views of the laguna Torre; and the thrill of the zipline through to the exhilarating Paso del Viento. After all; this is a trek adventure with different experiences along the way; and thus, it’s an awesome way to experience the north Patagonian wilds of El Chaltén.
