Mirador Ventisquero Colgante
The Ventisquero Colgante viewpoint within Queulat National Park is the viewpoint you reach after the long hike, and for me, it's the most worthwhile in the entire area.
When you get to the top, you have the glacier right in front of you, with several waterfalls cascading down from the glacier, and it's truly impressive. Right at the viewpoint, there's a small cabin/refuge, and below it, a small lagoon where all that glacial water flows, which adds even more to the atmosphere.
The entire area is surrounded by mountains and forest, so it's not just the end point, but the whole journey itself. Also, compared to other viewpoints in the park, this one is usually much quieter (although it can get more crowded during peak season). The hike itself is also a big plus, because you're constantly immersed in very dense forest, typical of Patagonia, with lush, green, and humid areas.
