The adventure begins when our comfortable minibus picks you up from your accommodation in El Calafate. Once everyone is on board, we embark on a three-hour tour through the mythical National Route 40, a road that crosses the vast and impressive Patagonian steppe. As we advance, the majestic southern Andes begin to appear on the horizon, crowned by the iconic silhouette of Mount Fitz Roy, a spectacle that will take your breath away.
Halfway there, we will make a strategic stop so you can stretch out and enjoy the first panoramic views. Upon arriving at El Chaltén, you will have a brief rest before an expert trekking guide joins you, who will accompany the group during the walk, guaranteeing a safe and enriching experience.
The starting point of the trail is located at the Puente del Río Eléctrico, just 14 kilometers from El Chaltén. There you will receive an individual meal before starting the tour. In the first section, a quiet 6.3 km walk in approximately an hour and a half, will take you to the Piedras Blancas Viewpoint, where you will witness the majesty of the glacier of the same name.
From here, you will have two options to continue:
Group 2: If you prefer a more relaxed walk, you will head with one of the guides to the charming Capri Lagoon, a true natural oasis with spectacular views of the Fitz Roy. Here you will enjoy lunch surrounded by unique landscapes before beginning the descent to El Chaltén.
Group 1: If you are looking for a challenge, you will continue towards the famous Laguna de los Tres. This most demanding section, with an ascent of 430 meters in almost 3 km, will reward you with unforgettable views as you approach the heart of the mountains. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the impressive Fitz Roy massif reflected in the turquoise waters of the lagoon. It is the perfect place to have lunch, take photographs and be amazed by the immensity of nature.
After exploring and enjoying this magical corner, both groups will meet again at Camp Poincenot to begin the return journey, passing through Capri Lagoon. Finally, our minibus will take you back to El Calafate.
