    Following the Las Vueltas River amidst ancient forests, we will go to the northern area of El Chaltén. We will border the Desierto Lake, a watershed adjacent to forests and foothills of the Los Andes Mountain Range, to enjoy the views to two glaciers: Vespigniani and Huemul. Finally, we return through the same track to the van that will take us back to the lodge.
