Cerro Torre Lookout
Known as "El Mirador del Cerro Torre" in Spanish, this is a nice half-day hike. The trail head is behind the Los Cerros hotel. After climbing 200m (656 ft.) to get above the El Chaltén valley, you'll stroll along a raging glacial FitzRoy River, through thick beech forests, meeting a spectacular view of the needlelike Cerro Torre, with its namesake lake and glacier in front. This is an excellent way to sample some of the world's finest trekking and a great choice if you arrive midday. Climb off to the left (river side) of the trail for the lookout at Cerro Dos Condores.
