Itinerary

We leave the centre of El Chaltén by crossing over the bridge of the Fitz Roy River, at the town entrance, and then continuing along to the National Park offices. From here we pick up the trailhead and walk up the path to the viewpoint.
This viewpoint is strategically located for the possibility of spotting condors on their frequent flight between the valleys of the Vueltas River and the Fitz Roy River.
Furthermore, it is an excellent place from where we can appreciate the impressive granite peaks and glaciers and the town of El Chaltén.
It is the ideal spot for people who are short on time, for drinking mate in the afternoon or maybe just sitting and contemplating the beauty of nature.
This walk coincides perfectly with a quick look in the National Park Visitors’ Centre.

This panoramic spot is recommended for those who love photography; from here you can take impressive shots of sunrise.
