What can you see from Cerro Torre?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Cerro Torre — observation point at 2,757 m, coordinates -49.2983, -73.1040.
From Cerro Torre, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 204 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 204 km to the east-southeast (bearing 103°), at 605 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 1,607,612 terrain samples.
