I lived a unique journey to the top of Cerro Frias, designed for lovers of trekking and Patagonian adventure. The tour begins in the hull of the stay and, after an initial walk, we arrive at the Woodsman's Refuge, where the ancient farmhands collected firewood at the beginning of the 20th century.
The trail then enters the lengas forest and, after a challenging ascent of an hour and a half, the landscape opens up to offer views of the Cordon de los Cristales, the valley of the Sentinel River and, hopefully, the Torres del Paine. At 1,095 meters above sea level, the summit gives a 360° panoramic view: Lake Argentino, the Andes Mountains, Cordon de los Baguales and, on clear days, the Fitz Roy on the horizon.
The descent along alternative paths reveals new perspectives of the hill and allows you to stop at historical refuges to enjoy a Patagonian life. The experience culminates in the hull of the stay, where a traditional snack brings the end to an epic day in the middle of Patagonia.

5.00I did this trek recently and it was an amazing experience. Being in the forest, the connection with nature is total, surrounded by flora and fauna that make the tour even more special. I also want to highlight the great work of the guide Matías, always with very good energy and sharing interesting information throughout the tour. It is ideal for those who already do trekking and those who want to start with something challenging but very rewarding. I definitely recommend it.
Amazing.

Demanding, but worth it

5.00While it is demanding because it is already on the climb from the start, if you have good physical condition and desire, it can be done. We had an excellent day and could see both the Fitz Roy and Torres del Paine. Matias, the guide, a kingpin and the rest of the people in the room too. Super recommended for anyone who wants to do a demanding trek in El Calafate.
I loved the experience lived the beautiful landscapes I take, excellent everything.
