Ferrier Lookout

The route of this exploration.

As the rewarding endpoint of this trek, the exposed rock lookout provides spectacular views of the Paine Massif, Sierra Baguales, the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, and the surrounding lakes, rivers, and expansive pampas of the Argentine Steppe. The experience is further enriched by the usually strong winds sweeping off the ice field, adding a sense of adventure to the open, scenic landscape.
