Important NOTE
Important note on the "activity level" of this trip:
Whenever a trip from Frobeen Erlebnisreisen says “hike”, a travel participant cannot hike at all. The traveler can either walk in Chaltén to take photos of the mountains from beautiful corners, which can also be seen from there.
Or he can also take a tour of the beautiful valley of the Río de las Vueltas up to the Lake Desierto .
Once there, you can take a steep but short hike up to the Huemul Glacier .
This offers the opportunity to enjoy the lake and the adjacent, glacier-covered mountains from a vantage point (to be booked on site the day before).
The travel participant can freely choose the level of activity on site.
