Huemul Circuit

Considered a premier multi-day trekking route in Los Glaciares National Park, the Huemul Circuit provides a circumnavigation of Cerro Huemul near El Chaltén. The route crosses two significant passes—Paso del Viento and Paso Huemul—offering direct panoramas of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Terrain varies from forested valley floors and river crossings to exposed glacial moraines and high-altitude scree slopes. The circuit is defined by its remoteness and the requirement for technical river crossing skills using fixed steel cables.

Route Typology: Developed Boardwalk / Managed Nature Walk. Sendero el Perezoso (The Sloth Trail) is a short boardwalk loop in Manuel Antonio National Park designed to be accessible, though conditions may vary depending on maintenance and crowd levels. This trail is engineered for high-probability wildlife viewing in a shaded, secondary forest environment. It is an ideal introductory walk for families and photographers, leading from the park entrance toward the primary beach zones. It is widely considered one of the most reliable locations in the Puntarenas Province to observe both two-toed and three-toed sloths in their natural canopy habitat.
