Hiking to Cerro Wank – Rio Subterraneo – Cascada Escondida

La Cumbrecita: Before starting a hiking season in El Chalten, visit a friend who lives in the city of Cordoba – Argentina. We went together for a trekking to a mountain village that I especially recommend. Hiking to the hidden waterfall cannot be done without a guide for safety. We hired the services of Trekking La Cumbrecita, a professional guide, which we recommend:.  +54 3546 45-3047

La Cumbrecita – Mountain Village

Remember mountain villages in Germany, Switzerland or France. Founded by a Siemens Manager 90 years ago, and has that charming European center in every corner

.

 

 

The path we went to La Cumbrecita is called Wank Hill – Underground River – Hidden Waterfall. (Cerro Wank – Rio Subterraneo – Cascada Escondida). It is absolutely necessary to do it with a guide, since from the summit on the Wank hill the trails are not signposted. For that we hire a guide at the entrance of the Villa, in a shop called Tekking La Cumbrecita.

by

Glacier Laguna Torre  Trail – Chalten – Argentina

Glacier Laguna Torre Trail: In the Argentine Patagonia almost at the end of the world, in a town of 300 inhabitants called Chalten, you can visit glaciers in places that have very little human presence. The walk lasts about 6 hours from the village and you have to take everything to camp, since there is no support there.

To move there you have to take a airplane to Buenos Aires (about 9 hours), another plane from Buenos Aires to Calafate (three hours more to the south). And finally in a vehicle (about four hours more) until chalten. All an adventure and an authentic Glacier at The End of the World. It is located in Los Glaciares National Park, in Argentine Patagonia.
