Timeline

  1. 17:57

    Mirador Glaciar Martial

    Walk up to Mirador Glaciar Martial. The path is short and steep, but the view of Cerro Martial and the Beagle Channel opens up immediately. Arrive before the sun dips below the horizon to watch the glacier catch the final glow.

  2. 18:57

    Cerro Martial

    Head down to Cerro Martial base. Use this time to stretch your legs and let the evening air settle. The mountain looms large here, its slopes turning from gold to deep blue as twilight sets in.

  3. 19:42

    Chez Manu

    Dine at Chez Manu. Ask for a seat by the large windows. Order the local Patagonia lamb or fresh seafood. The restaurant is a short walk from the mountain base, making it the perfect cool-down spot after the hike.

Local tip

The sunset is in the WNW on 15 April, aligning perfectly with the view from Mirador Glaciar Martial. Bring a jacket; the wind off the Beagle Channel picks up quickly after dark.
