There are still no roads through the last kilometers of the Aysén Region but that doesn't deter the true adventurers who hike across the border on foot from Candelario Mansilla to El Chaltén, (many with bikes in hand)! Accompanied by incredible views of majestic Mount Fitz Roy and the Desierto Lagoon, this 34 km hike is one of this part of Patagonia's greatest secrets.

Perhaps the best way to experience and learn about a glacier is walking through it. What you have seen from a distance, suddenly becomes ?up close and personal?, when you are walking within the giant ice-filled terrain, enjoying its array of hues, transparent clear tones, whites and blues.?

This hike along the shores of Laguna/Lago (Lagoon/Lake) del Desierto with views of the Huemul Glacier begins the journey back from Argentina to Chile, in much the same fashion as the early explorers. The route is also a great day hike for visitors to El Chaltén; especially on rainy days, as most of the trail is sheltered by dense forest cover.
