Trek along the scenic route to Glaciar Huemul to see a small but impressive glacier, and by far the most accessible one in the region.

The glacier is accessible by one of the most attractive trails in the region, leading through the ever-changing scenery of rugged Patagonia.

The climb is short but intense. When you get up to enjoy a true paradise! It is beautiful. The effort of the steep ascent is worthwhile. Well find agencies that allow you to make navigation on the desert lake and to coordinate with the walk to the huemul, since some are not as foreseen and still there is a waste not to make it.

Fuimos rumbo a Laguna del Desierto y nos recomendaron este trekking. Esfuerzo medio y una vista espectacular como recompensa (el esfuerzo medio para mi es alto) more »

We were heading to Laguna del Desierto and recommended us this trekking. Half effort and a spectacular view as reward (the average effort for me is high)

B e a utifull place, is about 23km north from el chalten (which is the only downside) near "Lago del desierto". Is an hour hike that is not Hard and you will enjoy the hole ride. If you hire the tour guide, and you like relax with a great view, i would recommend to take more than the 2 hours tour.

Imperdible excursión si estás en el chalten! Te tomas una combi y te deja en el portal. Excelentes vistas. Trayecto corto de poca a mediana dificultad. Vistas impresionantes al final. Podes combinar con lago del desierto con navegación y a mitad de camino una linda cascada.

Unforgettable tour if you are in el chalten! You take a combi and leaves you on the portal. Excellent views. Short of small to medium difficulty path. Stunning views to the end. You can combine with Lake of the desert with navigation and half way a beautiful waterfall.
