Description

Located in the Argentinean Patagonia, in the province of Santa Cruz, Loma del Pliegue Tumbado is a natural viewpoint that offers a 360° panoramic view of the surroundings. From this point, we can contemplate the Fitz Roy and Torre valleys as well as the spectacular Viedma Lake. Follow me on this 1-day trek in El Chalten and live an unforgettable experience in the wilderness.

Departing from El Chalten, we’ll take the Laguna Toro trail and enjoy an ascent through little woods and streams. After an hour of hiking, we’ll reach an open area that offers an amazing view of Mount Fitz Roy, Torre and Huemul. The path will lead us through a beautiful natural area called Pampa de las Carretas and then we’ll continue across a dense forest. Once there, we’ll do some birdwatching and listen to their song.

Later in the hike, we’ll cross an alpine and arid area where we’ll find a wide variety of flowers and ancient marine remains. In this section, we’ll feel the wind of Patagonia and maybe even some snow in Loma del Pliegue Tumbado. After sharing lunch and enjoying breathtaking views of the mountains, we’ll return to El Chalten.

Please keep in mind that this trek is moderate and has a duration of 7-8 hours. Although prior trekking experience is not required, it’s mandatory to have a good level of fitness.

So are you ready for this trek in gorgeous Patagonia? Then all you have to do is send the request to book your place and we’ll start making all the arrangements. It will be a pleasure for me to guide you in this area.

Another great experience that I offer in Patagonia is this trekking to Laguna Torre. Check it out!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
