Description
Our adventure starts from select downtown hotels in El Calafate, ensuring a convenient start for our journey. We'll embark on an exciting 4x4 expedition from these central points to discover the awe-inspiring vistas awaiting atop the hill.
Capture the 360° natural beauty with your camera, marveling at the stunning landscapes of El Calafate and Lake Argentino, Argentina's largest lake. Traverse a thrilling 35 km route over the hills, guided by our expert who offers enriching insights into the typical Patagonian landscapes surrounding us. Depending on the season and weather, witness the breathtaking sight of glaciers accumulating on Lake Argentino and the majestic peaks of the Patagonian Ice Field, including Cerro Fitz Roy and the Tower in Chalten.
For the descent, we offer three different options, each with its charm:
•In 4x4: Just as fun as the journey up, we will descend on the south slope of the hill, where we will stop to take a walk towards the Labyrinth of Stones, a curious rock formation resulting from thousands of years of wind erosion. Also, during winter months you can choose to slide down in 'culipatin' through 240 meters. •Trekking: A guided 90-minute walk on the north face of the hill with views of Lake Argentino, traversing the Cretaceous-era valley.
•Zipline: You will descend on our exclusive circuit of 4 zipline lines totaling 2920 meters in length.
After arriving at the oldest house in Estancia Huyliche, you'll be treated to a snack.
