Embark on a 6-hour trek to Creston Glacier, located in the Lago Del Desierto region, approximately 37 kilometers north of El Chaltén. Cerro Crestón is the standout feature of the area, and offers a variety of activities suitable for all levels of fitness and available throughout the year. The valley is known for its majestic Lenga trees and glaciers, making it one of the most attractive trekking destinations.
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Before the excursion, a brief discussion is held with the guide to review the specifics and the necessary equipment for the adventure planned for the next day. On the day of the activity, a private transfer will pick you up in the morning from the hotel in El Chaltén and take you to the meeting point. You will then walk with the guide for about 40 minutes until you reach the refuge, where a hot drink will be provided. Following a 20-minute walk through the dense lenga forest, you will be amazed by the stunning views of the glacier and Crestón hill.
The most challenging section of the hike is encountered here, where you depart from the vegetation and cross over a large rock formation that has been eroded by the glacier. Upon completing the two-hour hike, you will arrive at the front of the glacier. A stop will be made to don the appropriate gear for walking on the glacier. The trek to the glacier is subject to the weather and the physical condition of the travelers. After enjoying a box lunch, you will return to the refuge and then back to El Chalten.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
