Use the location and exact operator meeting point when planning the approach. A place in the same curation group can be well outside the town or road corridor.
This place appears on Day 3 of the 6-day Argentinian Patagonia default. Review the complete day and selected overnight before committing to transport.
Compare the actual locations and access; this list does not establish a feasible same-day circuit.
Laguna Torre is the second most popular hike in the area, but still an overall must-do. It is 11-mile long out and back trail from El Chalten, but not physically demanding with just 500 ft of elevation gain.
Some parts of the trail are windy or slippery, so be ready with appropriate gear. Check the the links section for more details on AllTrails.
