A Short drive to Rio Electrico, 12 miles north of El Chalten. This walk leads through beech forest and riverbeds to Refugio los Troncos, Piedra del Fraile
Hike along the Río Fitz Roy valley to reach the Laguna Torre at the end of the valley. Get as close as non-climbers can get to the mystical Cerro Torre. You will also visit the base camp where climbers wait for the good weather to attempt the climb
Walk through the little village and pass the Ranger Station where the Visitors Centre is located. Pliegue Tumbado is a ridge and a summit that offers views of both Cerro Torre and mount Fitz Roy. It is also a less visited area of the park and it is well worth the effort of the climb
