Laguna de los Tres hiking day trip from El Chaltén
4.7· 23 reviewsFrom ₹27,488Full-day guided hike around Laguna de los Tres to view Mount Fitz Roy and its glaciers, suitable for experienced hikers.
“The 21km trekking route to Fitzroy is the most well-known, offering stunning views throughout the journey. Although it’s a lengthy trek, I stayed engaged as Fitzroy was in sight the entire time. The final hour and a half involves a challenging 400m elevation gain with scree that can be slippery on the descent, so I recommend using walking sticks. This trek was the highlight of my trip. The weather allowed for short sleeves, but there were many insects, and I got quite a few bites. It was also chilly near the lake with strong winds. Be sure to carry enough water.”— jalanworld on the Laguna de los Tres hiking day trip from El Chaltén tour
