Day-hike to Loma del Pliegue Tumbado and descent by Paso Agachonas
One of the less hiked trails in the park, however one of the most spectacular views we could get. If the weather allows us to, we will be able to see both mountain ranges, Cerro Torre Range and Fitz Roy Range! Along with the famous Paso del Viento with Mariano Moreno Range in its background (mountains in the Southern Continental Ice Cap). If the physical condition of participants allows, we will be able to get to the summit, not technical: Loma del Pliegue Tumbado. On the last ascent, we would be able to find fossils: Belemnites. From the summit, we can even see the village: El Chalten.
To descend, we keep hiking on the ridge until finding Paso Agachonas. There we descend into Valle del Río Fitz Roy, most known like Valle Cerro Torre.
We reach the river and cross it by the Tyrolean traverse to arrive at Laguna Torre. We take this mostly flat trail back to El Chalten.
Estimated hiking time 10 hours
Distance of 20 km
Elevation gain of 1000 meters.
