A two hours drive from Santiago, Chile, Glaciar del Morado is one of the most beautiful sights in the central Andes. Often overshadowed by its more popular but imo less impressive neighbor Glaciar San Francisco (within these galleries as well), El Morado glaciar offers beautiful views of the glaciar and the high peaks around it. As an extra, you get to see the peak of the massive Volcán San José.

The trek took us about 2,5 from the parking place at a medium pace.
