Cerro Huemul

Cerro Huemul rises to an elevation of 2,677 meters, featuring extensive walls and glaciers within the Patagonian mountain range of Los Glaciares National Park.

The mountain trails developed into important exploration routes as mountaineers from different countries ventured to study the geological formations and native wildlife.

The name Huemul derives from the local deer species, representing the strong connection between the mountain environment and regional fauna of Patagonia.

The trek requires four days with three nights of camping, crossing varied terrains and gaining 1,600 meters in altitude through established routes.

Trekkers must use zip lines to cross rivers during the ascent, combining traditional hiking with technical rope navigation methods.
