Laguna Torre
A glacial lake where icebergs drift beneath Cerro Torre. It is a classic trail starting from the town, a round trip of about 18 km.
Laguna Torre is formed by meltwater from the Glaciar Grande, and the lake surface is often dotted with floating ice. Behind it stands the spire-like Cerro Torre, at 3,128 meters. The trail starts from the west side of the town and is about 18 km round trip, taking 6–7 hours. It climbs gently and is easier than the Fitz Roy Trail. A viewpoint for Cerro Torre along the way gives you a first look at the peak. Admission is free. Cerro Torre is often hidden by cloud, and when the wind is strong the lakeshore feels extremely cold.
