Laguna Torre Trail
Trail · El Chaltén & Santa Cruz
Nine kilometers of lenga beech forest and open pampa lead from El Chaltén to this glacial lake beneath Cerro Torre's near-vertical granite needle. Icebergs calved from the Torre glacier drift across the water, and the forest along the way turns red and gold through March, a gentler grade than the Fitz Roy route.
