Monte San Valentin, Mountain summit in Northern Patagonia, Chile

Monte San Valentin rises to 4,058 meters above sea level at the northern end of the North Patagonian Icefield, making it the highest peak in Chilean Patagonia.

The first measurement of Monte San Valentin was conducted by Nordenskjold in 1921, recording an elevation of 3,876 meters before subsequent measurements revealed greater heights.

The mountain bears significance in Chilean mountaineering history as numerous expeditions have attempted to conquer its challenging slopes since the early twentieth century.

Climbers can approach Monte San Valentin through two main routes: from Lago Leones to the southeast or from Laguna San Rafael to the west.
