Descripción del Tour:

Our tour starts from the central hotels in El Calafate at the selected time. We will embark on a trip in a 4x4 vehicle to take you to an incredible viewpoint at the top of the  hill whose panoramic views amaze all its visitors.

You will be able to observe and capture with your camera a 360° natural landscape that allows you to admire El Calafate and Lake Argentino, this being the largest lake in Argentina.  

The excursion has a fun 35 km route over the hills behind the town. Our expert guide will be able to tell us more interesting details about the typical Patagonian landscapes that surround us.

Depending on the season and the weather, it will be possible to see the accumulation of glaciers on Lake Argentino, and the high mountains of the Patagonian Ice Field such as Cerro Fitz Roy and La Torre in El Chalten.  

For the descent, we offer three different options, each with its own particular charm: 

* In 4x4: just like the fun we had on the way there, we will go down the southern slope of the hill, where we will stop to take a walk to the Labyrinth of Stones, a curious rock formation resulting from thousands of years of wind erosion. Only with this option, in the winter months, thanks to the snow, will we have the possibility of doing skate boarding on a 240-meter track. We access a unique panoramic view in this way.

* In trekking: a 90-minute guided walk along the north face of the hill with views of Lake Argentino, traveling through a valley from the Cretaceous era.
