Mirador del Torre

A short and easy trek through the valley of the Fitz Roy River to the famous panoramic viewpoint of the Mount Solo, the Adela range and the Cerro Torre massif.

Itinerary

This viewpoint is halfway towards Laguna Torre. There are two trail heads starting from El Chaltén which merge within 5 minutes walk. In a small Ñire wood you will find a signpost with a plan of the route with times, distances and recommendations for you to take into account before continuing.

The trail begins entering the valley with a gentle ascend in the shade of the first Lengas, and very soon straighten up along side the Fitz Roy river canyon where the Margarita viewpoint is located.

Cerro Solo

From here you have a panoramic view of the Mount Solo, the Adela range, the Mount Torre and the Mount Chaltén, and on the other side of the river you will see the Margarita waterfall.

Mirador del Torre

The footpath continues through the native forest, following the course of the Fitz Roy River. After an hour and a half walking you will arrive at the Mount Torre viewpoint, you will find a signpost of the National Park describing the incomparable view in front of you: the magnificent view of the Adela range, the Mount Torre and the granite needles around.

View

At the beginning of this trek you get a panoramic view of the emblematic Mount Torre and the Mount Chaltén.
