Caminata en Hielo Glaciar Calluqueo: Aventura en Patagonia

1 / 9

Located on Mount San Lorenzo, the second-highest peak in Chilean Patagonia, the Calluqueo glacier is the most accessible in the Aysén region, just 1 hour by vehicle from the city of Cochrane. The route allows for viewing of this massif, considered one of the Himalayas of Patagonia. Surrounded by lenga forests and glacial deposit moraines, we cross the Calluqueo Lagoon to reach the foot of this glacier, an activity suitable for the whole family.
