Laguna Torre (Cerro Torre)

The gentler of the two signature day hikes. 18–20km return, ~500m cumulative gain — most of it in the first 2km climb to Mirador Margarita, then a nearly flat valley walk. Delivers the view no other trail does: Cerro Torre (3,128m), Torre Egger, and the Torre glacier. Meaningfully less crowded than Laguna de los Tres, but the Mirador Maestri extension is the new Instagram spike — shoulder-to-shoulder by 11am.
