Ever-popular tours to Lago del Desierto attract scores of visitors every year thanks to its unparalleled panoramic views and crystal clear azure waters flanked by verdant Patagonian forest. Trekking the area is a rewarding excursion, and tour companies usually offer guided walking tours of varying difficulty so do your research. Views of mountains Fitz Roy and Torre as well as glaciers and waterfalls surrounded by tall lush regional trees will greet you on your voyage. The lake has been the historical subject of a dispute of ownership between Argentina and Chile. Leave plenty of time for this trip as the mountain roads are difficult to traverse and could take as long as two hours to get there by car.

The journey is long, 4 x 4, almost two hours to get to the South point, there 45 minutes navigation to point north, but is offset by the dream landscapes of eternal glaciers at the top of the mountains. On the way back there is a stop on the coast, and walks, walking difficulty, are carried out through a forest on the coast of the Lago del Desierto. Reminded me the of the Lord of the rings, not to be missed, did not know that there could be so many shades of green!View original -

It is not recommended to do it from El Calafate because it consumed all the time on the trip. Leaving El Chalten, although it is not so far away, it takes about two hours to arrive. All the way has beautiful views. There are transport companies that offer the service of back and forth with a wait of 2, 4 or 6 hours, with different prices. The navigation is paid separately. The entrance to the Huemul trail is also optional and is payable at destination. You can fish, but permission is needed.View original -
