Fodor's Expert Review Yelcho Glacier

Chaiten Nature Sight

Just 2 km (1 mile) past the village of Puerto Cárdenas is Puente Ventisquero Yelcho (Glacier Bridge), the beginning of a moderate three-hour round-trip hike to Ventisquero Cavi (Hanging Glacier). The trail is clearly marked, but Chaitur Excursions (www.chaitur.com) also organizes group treks to the glacier.
