El Chaltén is the trekking capital of Argentina and one of the best spots for hiking and climbing in Patagonia. From the several hiking options in this area we chose the popular hike to Cerro Torre and Laguna Torre first before hiking to Fitz Roy and Laguna de los tres on another dayhike.
Now we decided to also hike the Huemul Circuit - a challenging multi day trek which I already completed 3 years ago. Though it is a tough trek it totally pays off with the incredible views you get: from the glaciers of the Patagonian Ice Field to the turquoise waters of the Viedma lake.
This part of the trip was executed within 4 days and this is what we saw:
- Southern Patagonian Ice Field
- Cerro Torre
- Monte Fitz Roy
- Laguna Toro
- Galciar Rio Tunel Inferior & Rio Tunel
- Paso del Viento
- Viedma Glacier / Glaciar Viedma
- Cerro Huemul / Vuelta Huemul
- Paso Huemul
- Lago Viedma
- Bahia Tempanos
- Bahia Rio Tunel
- Campo Hielo Sur
- El Chalten
I'm excited to share all our experiences in Patagonia over the course of the next 6 weeks with you. In the next episode we will visit the Perito Moreno Glacier near El Calafate, Argentina and meet impressive characters along the way.
The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.

The whole trip was executed over the course of 2 months using mostly local transport such as busses, cars and trucks. A big thank you goes to Lufthansa for providing the flights into and out of South America in their new Premium Economy Class!

Huemul Trek, El Chalten, Patagonia (2018)
The Huemul Circuit topped all treks we have done before.This trek blew our minds, even comparing it to the W Trek in Punta Arenas and the most beautiful treks in New Zealand (video here). Normally a four day trek, unless like it did for us, the weather makes you change plans and you do it in three days. El Chalten, the starting point is a town in the Argentinian part of Patagonia and is infamous for its challenging weather conditions. The surrounding mountains are majestic and scary attracting mountaineers, climbers and hikers every season. One of the highlights of the area, the massive South Patagonian Ice Field is only accessible on the Huemul Trek.
