The road to into the park is horrible and the park is crowded but the trek up to the glacial viewpoint is magical. Make sure you also do the short side trail along the rushing river to the lake. If you want solitude, there is another viewpoint trail whose trailhead is just before the two upper parking lots. I think the trail is marked as something like Rio Ventisquero. The trail is very steep and muddy, however.

This hanging glacier is one of the main attractions along the Carretera Austral and although rather crowded definetely worrth a visit. The turnoff from the main CA road is not very well marked so be on the lookout. In order to visit the glacier you must register at the Park entrance and pay a relatively hefty entrance fee (if you are an overseas visitor). Once in the part you drive another 500-1000 m to the parking lot where you find toilet facilities. At the beginning of the trail you must cross a fierce and picturesque suspension bridge and after this you can choose between visiting the clacier by boat or by hike. The hike is a medium to easy path with steep increases to begin with and following a ridge in the forest most of the way. The estimated time for the 3.5 km roundtrip is 2½ hours but I hiked it in 1 h 40 mins and spent 20 mins at the top. You cannot see the glacier till the very last 20 meters but you can hear the occasional thunder of ice breaking off. The view is magnificent and fully justifies the hike. You may also see the glacier and gorge from below by boarding a boat ca. 1 km after the suspension bridge. You pay a fee for this but according to my wife, who chose this option, the view from below is equally spectacular and worth the ticket. If you have come to the CA to enjoy the solitude and quiet of the enormous nature here you may skip this site as it is very popular and much frequented.

Visited this thermas during the low season (March) and met just few other ppl over the territory - very good :)) Everything is clean, nicely designed, stylish and comfortable. Nice cafe and well-orginized changing rooms. Due to yje season not all the services and supplies were available but all the core detales were perfect.
