Trekking al Glaciar Calluqueo: Aventura en la Patagonia desde Cochrane

1 / 4

Located on Mount San Lorenzo, the second highest peak in Chilean Patagonia, the Calluqueo Glacier is the most accessible in the Aysén region, just a one-hour drive from the city of Cochrane. This adventure allows for the sighting of this massif, known as one of the "Himalayas of Patagonia." Surrounded by lenga forests and glacial moraine deposits, we venture across the Calluqueo Lagoon and begin a one-hour route to reach the immense ice wall.
