Explore one of Patagonia's magical mountains, Fitz Roy, with this trek from El Calafate to El Chaltén. Beginning with hotel pickup, embark on a challenging 20-kilometer journey along the Fitz Roy path.

The self-guided trek, estimated to last 8 to 9 hours, includes breaks to admire the breathtaking landscape. Spot local fauna as you travel along Route 40, and if weather permits, witness a sunrise over the hills.

Upon arrival, receive a briefing, walking sticks, and a map before commencing the trek on your own. Traverse through forests to Laguna Capri, marveling at its turquoise waters and Fitz Roy's majestic views.

Continuing past Camping Poincenot, ascend to Laguna de los Tres, tackling the toughest kilometer. The climb rewards with incredible vistas of Mother and Daughter Lagoon. A final 300-meter ascent leads to an awe-inspiring sight, where nature's grandeur leaves you speechless.
