FITZ ROY TREKKING LAGUNA DE LOS TRES


On this trekking route through Los Glaciares National Park, we will contemplate the wondrous Patagonian landscapes from a truly unique perspective. At 8:00 AM, we will depart from the hotel by minibus to set out along Provincial Route 41, a scenic road that winds alongside the Río de las Vueltas, offering postcard-worthy views ideal for photography. An hour later, we will kick off our grand 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) trek: we start by crossing the Río de las Vueltas before skirting the crystalline course of the Río Blanco, born from the eternal snowmelt of the Andes mountain range. Step by step, we will arrive at the famed Piedras Blancas Glacier viewpoint, where we will be dazzled by a spectacular panorama of its namesake glacier—a true natural wonder! We will continue ascending for one more hour until conquering the highest point of our route: the very base of the imposing Mount Fitz Roy and the turquoise waters of Laguna de los Tres. After marveling at this unforgettable setting, we will descend to Poincenot campsite, where a comforting hot lunch awaits to restore our energy (optional). At 3:30 PM, we will resume our descent, fortunate to admire Laguna Capri and the Estancia Madsen viewpoint along the way. We will conclude this unforgettable experience in Los Glaciares National Park arriving back in El Chaltén at 5:00 PM.
