Tour Description
Your adventure begins early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel in El Calafate. From there, you will travel to El Chaltén, passing through some of Patagonia’s most spectacular and iconic landscapes.
During the journey, we will make a technical stop in La Leona, where you will have time to use the restrooms and enjoy a good breakfast before continuing to El Chaltén.
Upon arriving in the village, we will meet our trekking guide, authorized by Los Glaciares National Park, and continue by vehicle to the Río Eléctrico Bridge, located approximately 18 km from El Chaltén. The trek will begin from there.
🌲 Trekking to Laguna de los Tres
The hike begins by crossing a ñire forest, as the trail gradually ascends through the region’s beautiful natural landscapes.
One of the first major highlights will be the Piedras Blancas Glacier Viewpoint, where we can admire this impressive hanging glacier and take a break while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
We will then continue walking through the forest until reaching Poincenot Camp and later Río Blanco, an area used as a base camp by climbers attempting to conquer the imposing walls of Mount Fitz Roy.
From there, the most challenging section of the excursion begins: the final ascent to Laguna de los Tres.
The effort will be rewarded when we reach one of Patagonia’s most iconic landscapes. Before us, we will see Mount Fitz Roy, Glaciar de los Tres (Three Glaciers), and the lagoon, surrounded by enormous granite walls.
We will have time to rest, take in the scenery, and enjoy lunch before beginning the descent.
💧 Returning through new landscapes
The return journey will give us the opportunity to continue discovering the area’s natural beauty, following trails accompanied by streams and crystal-clear waterways.
During the descent, we will also visit Laguna Capri, another outstanding highlight of the route, before continuing toward El Chaltén.
Once back in town, you will have approximately 45 minutes of free time to relax and recharge. You can use this time to enjoy a craft beer, hot chocolate, waffles, or another delicious local specialty.
Finally, we will begin the return journey by vehicle to El Calafate.
