Laguna Torre (Cerro Torre)

One of the most frequented day hikes from El Chaltén, the route to Laguna Torre leads to a glacial lake at the base of the Torre massif. The 18 km out-and-back trail follows the Fitz Roy River valley, moving through sub-antarctic forests of ñire and lenga. The terrain is primarily well-maintained gravel paths and packed dirt, with a short initial ascent followed by mostly level walking through the glacial valley. The destination offers direct views of Cerro Torre (3,128m) and the Adela range, with icebergs frequently calving from the Torre Glacier into the lake.

Perhaps the most desolate place on earth. The Skeleton Coast is where the roaring Atlantic meets the towering dunes of the Namib. This trek is a journey through a ship's graveyard, where rusted hulls and whale bones emerge from the morning fog. It is a place of haunting beauty, extreme silence, and incredible desert-adapted wildlife like desert elephants and brown hyenas.
