About 23 miles north of El Chaltén is the Lago del Desierto (‘Desert Lake’). At the lake, the Exploradores company offers several boating options. It’s an ideal tour for those people who are looking for activities that are not too demanding. The excursion provides captivating views of the Fitz Roy mountain range, the Vespignani Glacier, and others. You can also take a one-hour trail to the Huemul lagoon (fee to access trail). It is ideal to combine both tours.
