Looking Down the Valley of The Towers - Rio Ascencio

The long slow grade to the towers follows a deep valley containing the Ascencio River. If you are starting from Los Torres Refugio, you cross Rio Ascencio on a rickety bridge allowing no more than two trekkers at a time. From there, a long slow climb begins and you eventually see the river from high above. You decend a little bit near the Chileno Refugio to the same level as the river. Heading up the valley is not a hike I'd want to do on a warm day!
