Exploration Path
We cross the Pehoé Lake by catamaran to the Paine Grande refuge where we start the trek. We enter the Francés Valley through a forest, cross the suspension bridge over the Francés River and continue to the Italian Camp. From there, we see the glacier and the granite peaks that frame the area. We return by the same trail.
Glaciers are monuments of time. Patient titans of nature whose fragile presence is in great measure responsible for the geographic spectacle of Patagonia.
