Travel to the town of El Chalten and follow the trail to Laguna de los Tres, which will take you to the foot of Mount Fitz Roy and Laguna de los Tres. A magical place, without a doubt, that will leave you astonished and speechless.
We will start our activity with the pick-up from the hotels starting at 08:00 AM. Then we will take the mythical Route 40 bordering Lake Argentino and we will start a trip to the town of El Chaltén, 220 km from El Calafate. On our way, we will cross the Santa Cruz River, and we will stop for a few minutes at Estancia La Leona, next to the river with the same name. There there will be a bathing stop and you will be able to enjoy homemade cakes and something hot to drink (not included). Then we will continue on our way to El Chaltén. Once in El Chaltén, you will take a transfer to Estancia del Pilar, and there you will start the trekking. The advantage of this option is that from there the path is easier, so it will be cooler to walk the last exhausting kilometer.
On the trek you will be inside part of the Andean forest. If you are lucky, you will be able to see some of the animals that live there.
Surprise yourself with all the landscapes that you will cross on your way ... a dream place like few others.
Before arriving at Laguna de Los Tres, 1 last kilometer will be waiting for you: don't panic. Every effort counts and the end is worth every step taken along the way.
When you arrive at the Laguna de los Tres, you will have enough time to have lunch. Lunch is not included and there is no option to purchase it during the activity, so we suggest that the day before you already have lunch and snacks organized. The place is a mountain site and there is no possibility of purchasing anything during the tour.
After enjoying the impressive views of Cerro Fitz Roy and Laguna de los Tres, and filling yourself with the magic of the place, you will take a well-marked path to return to the town of El Chaltén. It is a different path from the one at the beginning, where you can enjoy the beautiful Capri Lagoon during the tour. In town, we will be waiting for you at a meeting point set in advance for the return to El Calafate.
