Loma del pliegue Tumbado

Altogether with Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torre, this medium difficulty trek to Loma del Pliegue Tumbado is one of the most rewarding hikes in the area, with the benefit of enjoying a quieter trail with spectacular scenery. Starting from the outskirts of the town, this route climbs 3900 feet steadily to an elevated viewpoint, offering a unique panoramic perspective of the two famous valleys: Torre and Fitz Roy Valley. During the first section, the trail crosses open grasslands before entering a beautiful lenga forest. After leaving the forest, the landscape changes dramatically: the trail emerges into open rocky terrain where low Patagonian shrubs replace the dense woodland. Here the path becomes more exposed to the wind, one of the defining characteristics of Patagonia. Looking back, the small village of El Chaltén appears surrounded by the immense Patagonian steppe, with the winding Río de las Vueltas stretching across the valley.
