We begin the walk in the Andorra Valley, we will walk through a peat bog and border the river. These wetlands today are RAMSAR sites, internationally protected environments. Here we learn to interpret the place and its surroundings, being privileged to be there as protagonists.

Upon entering the native Andean Patagonian forest, the ascent begins, where steep slopes are combined with flat sections. The terrain is mountainous, so depending on the weather there may be mud, snow or the trail may be dry.
The forest tells us the story of axemen who decades ago exploited the place and its resources. The climb lasts 2:30 hours and it is important to maintain a constant pace.

What to expect

Hiking to the top of the mountain to visit a millennial glacier is an experience that you can not miss if you come to the end of the world, the glaciers are in retreat and it will not be long before they disappear. We feel lucky to be able to visit them and we don’t want you to miss it.
We invite you to walk over the glacier, observe its crevices and sinkholes, and enter an ice cave*. It should be noted that the glacier is constantly receding so the places you see are changing and melting.
The terrain is mountainous, so depending on the climate, the trail varies.
We share a rich lunch, some nice talks, and spectacular views, and then return to the city.
Trekking has medium level difficulty, so good fitness is required. It is not important to walk fast, but to be able to maintain a steady and sustained pace to reach the destination and be able to return.
Mini glacier trekking: activity available during the summer season.

*Due to the constant evolution of the glacier, caves may not be available. If it is important to you, ask us first!
