Main Attractions of the Park
Hanging Glacier
The park’s iconic landmark and a one-of-a-kind natural wonder—a glacier suspended between two mountains, with a massive waterfall cascading into the valley below. You can admire it from a panoramic viewpoint or hike the 3.5 km trail leading to the main overlook, starting from the visitor center.
Patagonian Rainforests
The park is blanketed in dense forests of coigües, tepas, canelos, and giant ferns. Its lush vegetation thrives year-round and can be explored along various interpretive trails.
Queulat Fjord
An ideal spot for kayaking or boat excursions, the fjord offers a unique perspective of the mountainous landscape, with green cliffs plunging directly into the water.
Témpanos Lagoon
Another magical corner of the park. From here, you can walk through and admire the beauty of the evergreen forest, with the chance to hear the crack and rumble of ice breaking off the glacier.
