Calafate Balcony In 4x4

Our adventure begins with pick-up from the central hotels in El Calafate at your selected time. We’ll set off in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle, heading towards a breathtaking viewpoint situated at the summit of the hill, where the panoramic views will truly impress every visitor.

Here, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to photograph and admire a stunning 360° natural landscape, with sweeping vistas of El Calafate and Lake Argentino—the largest lake in Argentina.

This tour covers an exciting 35 km route across the scenic hills behind town. Accompanied by our expert guide, you'll discover intriguing facts about the remarkable Patagonian surroundings.

Depending on the season and current weather conditions, you may witness the spectacle of glaciers on Lake Argentino, as well as the towering peaks of the Patagonian Ice Field, including Cerro Fitz Roy and La Torre in El Chalten.

For the descent, you can choose from three unique options, each offering a special experience:

* In 4x4: Continue the excitement by descending the southern slope of the hill, stopping for a short walk to the Labyrinth of Stones—a fascinating rock formation shaped over millennia by wind erosion. During the winter months, this option includes the exclusive chance to try snowboarding on a 240-meter track, thanks to the snow. This route also grants you another extraordinary panoramic view.

* By trekking: Enjoy a 90-minute guided hike along the north face of the hill, with spectacular views of Lake Argentino and a journey through a Cretaceous-era valley.

* By zip-lining: Experience the thrill of descending our unique circuit of four ziplines, totaling 2920 meters in length.

At the historic house of Estancia Huyliche, once you reach the base, you’ll be served either lunch or a snack, depending on the time chosen for your tour.
