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.

The Thames Path is a unique 185-mile (298km) National Trail that follows the greatest river in England from its source to the sea. Starting in the quiet, idyllic meadows of the Cotswolds near Kemble, the path slowly grows alongside the river. It meanders through historic university cities like Oxford, past the dramatic locks and weirs of Henley and Windsor, before plunging into the heart of London. The final stretches follow the iconic tidal river past the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, and finishes at the monumental Thames Barrier in Greenwich. It is a long, gentle, completely flat walk through the history of British civilization.
