Loma Del Pliegue Tumbado, Mountain summit in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina.
The trail to Loma del Pliegue Tumbado rises through grasslands and forests before reaching a rocky terrain at 1500 meters above sea level.
Marine fossils discovered along the path indicate that this region was submerged under an ancient ocean approximately 100 million years ago.
Local hiking guides incorporate traditional Patagonian navigation methods and environmental knowledge while leading groups through the mountain paths.
The complete trek requires 7 to 8 hours round trip, covering 21 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1100 meters from the starting point.
The summit offers unobstructed views of both Cerro Torre and Mount Fitz Roy simultaneously, a perspective available from few other locations.

Patagonia extends across the southern reaches of Chile and Argentina, encompassing a range of natural landscapes from active glaciers to volcanic peaks. The region presents a mixture of ice, stone and water, with national parks protecting thousands of square miles of undeveloped terrain. The land was shaped by glacial processes that left deep valleys, lakes and dramatic mountain formations. The collection includes prominent locations across both countries. In Argentina, Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre rise above the valley of El Chaltén, while Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the few ice formations worldwide that continues to advance. Los Alerces National Park protects ancient alerce trees that have stood for millennia. On the Chilean side, the Marble Caves at General Carrera Lake form carved rock structures, Queulat Hanging Glacier feeds waterfalls, and the towers of Torres del Paine define one of South America's most recognizable mountain landscapes. San Rafael Lagoon provides access to tidewater glaciers, while remote protected areas such as Kawésqar National Park and Pumalín Douglas Tompkins National Park preserve extensive temperate rainforests. Historical sites like Cave of Hands display prehistoric rock art.
