Paso del Cuadrado Trek

Paso del Cuadrado is a mountain trek leading to a natural viewpoint facing the northern side of the Fitz Roy massif. Unlike the traditional trails around El Chaltén, this route leaves the main trail network behind and ventures into a remote environment, crossing native forests, glacial moraines and landscapes shaped by ancient ice. It is an experience designed for those looking for a different kind of adventure, with very few visitors and views that are difficult to find anywhere else in Los Glaciares National Park. --- Who is this trek suitable for? This trek is recommended for people with very good physical fitness and previous experience in mountain trekking. The itinerary involves long hours of hiking, significant elevation gain and off-trail sections where maintaining a steady and safe pace is essential. --- Technical information Total distance: approximately 24 km Elevation gain: approximately 1,200 m Maximum elevation: approximately 1,650 m a.s.l.
