I recommend this trip for people having a short time in El Chaltén and want to observe the Patagonian Ice field, the third largest ice expanse in the world. In fact, the Patagonian Ice field has only three passes, and Marconi is one of them.
We can try to be flexible according to weather conditions. So that if I’m available we can choose the best window to make the expedition more comfortable.
It is quite a sustained trekking with the cross of a Marconi glacier. The weather conditions can make it very impressive because of the storms coming from the ice cap and Pacific Ocean.
In the itinerary below you can see the two alternatives I propose for days 3 and 4. The one we choose will depend on the weather.
Does this amazing trip in Patagonia sound interesting? Then please contact me, I would love guiding you there!
Or if you want to go on a longer adventure in this area, I can also guide you on this Southern Patagonian Ice Cap Expedition.
