The Cerro Castillo traverse

Four days between Las Horquetas and Villa Cerro Castillo, with the lake at the foot of the glacier.

Less crowded than Torres del Paine and, for many, just as beautiful. It crosses mountain passes and lenga beech forests and ends at Laguna Cerro Castillo, a green mirror at the foot of a 2,675-meter massif. You can do the full route in four days or hike only up to the lake, about eight hours round trip; the full traverse always requires a certified guide, while the lake hike requires one only in winter: in season you can go on your own with a day pass. It’s worth confirming the rules before you go.
