We will continue our journey, passing by the serene Lake Las Torres, whose waters reflect the sky and surrounding mountains, and by the mysterious rock formation of Piedra el Gato, a place full of legends and natural beauty.
Around midday, we will arrive at the Heart of Queulat National Park. This park is famous for the Queulat Hanging Glacier, an imposing glacial mass that hangs dramatically above the valley.
