4×4 Balcones de Calafate with ATV

Balcones de Calafate offers visitors a stunning natural viewpoint from where one can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of El Calafate and Lake Argentino, climbing up the line of hills located behind the city. This experience takes us through typical landscapes of Argentine Patagonia.

From the top, it will be possible to see the glacier accumulation area, as well as Cerros Fitz Roy and Torre in El Chaltén, a unique spectacle. We will explore rock formations, including the Laberinto de Piedras, an attraction accessible to all on this excursion, which is a formation from the Cretaceous period dating back 85 million years.

We will descend the northern slope of the hill to Piedra de los Sombreros, curious iron solidifications that can only be found in four places in the world.

The starting point of the quad bike journey is at our refuge, at the top of the hill, where with the necessary technical equipment, an 8 km journey begins entering an ancient geography and penetrating the most attractive corners of Cerro Huyliche. At the end, we reunite with the 4×4 vehicles to begin the descent to the city, visiting the “Sombreros Mexicanos” and various panoramic points.
