Length Trip

Season
September to May
Level

Style
Sport climbing
The “Enchanted Valley” is located 60 km east of Bariloche, Argentina and truly fulfills its name. In this 40 minute drive there is a drastic change from the Andes range to the Patagonian Steppe. This is one of the most scenic spots in the Steppe for rock climbing. The volcanic rock has unique formations with pockets, “tufas”, and horns. A quick approach with our mountain guide and a light rack leaves you with plenty of energy to climb as many of these sport routes as you desire.
For this rock climbing trip, we strongly recommend hiring a Professional IFMGA UIAGM or AAGM Mountain Guide.
This gear list is designed for Multiday Climbing days in the mountains where we need to camp or use facilities of a hut, we hike on rocks and scree and some patches of snow. No glacier in general
