Loma Del Diablo Trekking

Duración: 8 Horas

The trek to “Loma del Diablo” offers a unique and untamed adventure.
Situated in a mid-mountain region, the trail to La Loma del Diablo is relatively unknown and less traveled, providing an opportunity for intimate encounters with the wilds of Patagonia. It's an ideal setting for hikers and skiers of all skill levels to venture through its snow-covered, glacier-free landscape.
Starting from the Laguna Cóndor Refuge, which is located 17 km from El Chaltén, the journey ascends through a serene path lined with a dense forest of lengas, eventually emerging onto rocky terrain that leads us to the summit along the mountain's ridge.
At an elevation of 1200 meters above sea level, we will be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views encompassing the Pirque sector, Purgatorio Hill, Blanco Hill, and a sweeping vista of the metropolitan Andes stretching from La Paloma Hill to Castillo Hill.
