Mount Trapalanda (1.930 m.) is located within the Motoco region of Patagonia, approximately at 42 degrees south, and in the border between Argentina and Chile.
It is not a particularly attractive mountain, and it does not qualify as a challenging summit in any way. However, it has some important features.
The nearby cabin at Lake Las Brisas.
Its limits are:
1)- To the north east, Mount Morrudo.
2)- To the south, Mount Aguja Norte.
3)- To the east, an unnamed valley that leads directly to Lake Puelo.
4)- To the north, the valley of Lake Las Brisas
5)- To the west, Mount Hensley.
Mount Trapalanda is the best choice as a waypoint to pass between Mount Aguja Norte and Mount Morrudo.
This little mountain was first explored in 1998, not because of some peculiar difficulty attached to it, but simply because nobody cared before.
