About
Quick facts: The peak reaches 3,491 meters, making it one of the highest in Patagonia. Its name comes from Spanish meaning 'Thunderer' because the glacier cracks produce rumbling sounds.
Highlights: The summit is covered by glaciers year-round, forming unique black glaciers with an ice-blue blend, creating a strange landscape. Visitors can also watch up close the spectacular scenes of glacier fractures and ice blocks falling into the lake.
Insider tips
- Wear waterproof hiking shoes and layered warm clothing as the weather can be unpredictable.
- Bring binoculars to observe glacier details and surrounding wildlife.
- The soft light in the morning or evening is ideal for photography.
- Avoid weekend crowds; visiting on weekdays is better.
