Also known as La Jerónima, the park’s little-visited southwesterly sector along Lago Roca’s Brazo Sur (South Arm) offers camping and cross-country hiking—there are no formal trails, only routes such as the one from the campground to the summit of Cerro Cristal, 55 kilometers from El Calafate.
The landscape’s most striking feature is the high shoreline—dry from the days when the lake backs up behind the advancing Moreno glacier. Unlike other sectors, Lago Roca charges no admission fee.
