Mirador del Torre
A short and easy trek through the valley of the Fitz Roy River to the famous panoramic viewpoint of the Mount Solo, the Adela range and the Cerro Torre massif.

This viewpoint is halfway towards Laguna Torre. There are two trail heads starting from El Chaltén which merge within 5 minutes walk. In a small Ñire wood you will find a signpost with a plan of the route with times, distances and recommendations for you to take into account before continuing.
The trail begins entering the valley with a gentle ascend in the shade of the first Lengas, and very soon straighten up along side the Fitz Roy river canyon where the Margarita viewpoint is located.
