Description

Located in the Argentinean Patagonia, in the province of Santa Cruz, Loma del Pliegue Tumbado is a natural viewpoint that offers a 360° panoramic view of the surroundings. From this point, we can contemplate the Fitz Roy and Torre valleys as well as the spectacular Viedma Lake. Follow me on this 1-day trek in El Chalten and live an unforgettable experience in the wilderness.

Departing from El Chalten, we’ll take the Laguna Toro trail and enjoy an ascent through little woods and streams. After an hour of hiking, we’ll reach an open area that offers an amazing view of Mount Fitz Roy, Torre and Huemul. The path will lead us through a beautiful natural area called Pampa de las Carretas and then we’ll continue across a dense forest. Once there, we’ll do some birdwatching and listen to their song.

Later in the hike, we’ll cross an alpine and arid area where we’ll find a wide variety of flowers and ancient marine remains. In this section, we’ll feel the wind of Patagonia and maybe even some snow in Loma del Pliegue Tumbado. After sharing lunch and enjoying breathtaking views of the mountains, we’ll return to El Chalten.

Please keep in mind that this trek is moderate and has a duration of 7-8 hours. Although prior trekking experience is not required, it’s mandatory to have a good level of fitness.

So are you ready for this trek in gorgeous Patagonia? Then all you have to do is send the request to book your place and we’ll start making all the arrangements. It will be a pleasure for me to guide you in this area.

Another great experience that I offer in Patagonia is this trekking to Laguna Torre. Check it out!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
