FULL-DAY TOUR: CHALTEN AND LAGUNA DE LOS TRES

Experience one of Patagonia’s most iconic hikes and reach Laguna de los Tres, the closest viewpoint to the majestic Mount Fitz Roy, accessible via trails in Los Glaciares National Park. An experience designed for trekking enthusiasts looking to challenge themselves while exploring some of El Chaltén’s most spectacular landscapes.

The excursion begins early with a transfer from El Calafate to El Chaltén, traveling along the legendary National Route 40, where the vastness of the Patagonian steppe and the first glimpses of the Fitz Roy massif set the stage for an unforgettable day.

The hike begins at the Puente del Río Eléctrico, winding through native forests, mountain rivers, and natural viewpoints, with breathtaking views of the Piedras Blancas Glacier and Camp Poincenot, the starting point for the final stretch of the ascent.

The final stage presents a significant physical challenge: a high-altitude mountain ascent over rocky terrain that rewards every effort with one of Patagonia’s most iconic panoramic views. From the glacial moraine, you’ll enjoy a privileged view of Mount Fitz Roy, Laguna de los Tres, and the De los Tres Glacier—a unique setting that makes this experience an unforgettable memory.

For those who prefer a less demanding hike, the excursion offers the option to continue on to the beautiful Laguna Capri, while still enjoying the characteristic landscapes of El Chaltén.

After some time set aside for resting, having lunch, and enjoying the surroundings, the descent to El Chaltén begins, from where the return trip to El Calafate commences, bringing to a close one of Patagonia’s most comprehensive and renowned trekking experiences.
