Monte San Lorenzo is the largest mountainous massif in the area, beyond the Patagonian Ice Cap.
The moutain is surrounded by a unique environment of rivers and forests. The summit is the border, and the objective of expeditions that go into the Río Oro valley in Argentina to reach it from Chile.
That spot is where the famous priest and explorer Alberto De Agostini summited the mountain for the first time, after years of exploration.
