Deviating a little from the classical Vuelta al Huemul (see N.18485, "Paso Huemul"), I reached this anonymous hill that promised an interesting view over the surrounding area. The place is difficult to locate into the classical touristic categories concerning the Chalten region. Namely, the view opens with the N shore of Lago Viedma, which hosts the access road to the village. Next it goes on with the nearly unknown ranges south of the lake, and with the tongue of the glacier barely visible low down. At the end, after the overwhelming mass of Cerro Huemul, come the bigs, Torre and Fitzoy, from here looking truly like towers in the desert.
With all this material to look at, however, my attention was polarized over an unique, fixed spot: the delta of Río Túnel, which was already beginning to reflect the moonlight. Its ford happens to be the most challenging operation within the Vuelta al Huemul, since a bridge swept away by the water has never been replaced.
