About this tour
This is an exclusive expedition that begins at approximately 7:00 AM from Calafate. After being picked up at your hotel, we will take the legendary Route 40 along the shores of Lake Argentino and cross the Santa Cruz River. Here, our guide will recount Darwin's experiences with Fitz Roy , who sailed up this river to very close to this point.
Then we will continue to the La Leona River , where we will travel through its canyon until, after 1 hour 15 minutes, we arrive at the old roadside hotel Paso La Leona (almost a museum of Route 40) , where you can have coffee with homemade cakes. From there we will continue along the shore of Lake Viedma - with the Andes Mountains in the background (including Mount Fitz Roy and Mount Torre).
Before arriving at the town we will stop at the Viedma Glacier viewpoint from where you can appreciate a beautiful panoramic view of the Glacier, the mountain range and the emblematic Mount Fitz Roy and Mount Torre .
We will arrive at the mountain village of El Chaltén after a 3- hour journey, having covered 220 km. After receiving a welcome, we will continue to where we can begin independent hikes along the self-guided trails that start from El Chaltén and lead to the most beautiful viewpoints of Fitz Roy or Cerro Torre.
Our trekking guide will advise us on the different options based on our fitness level and will provide us with maps of the marked trails. For lunch, we will either be given a packed lunch to carry in our backpacks and enjoy along the way, or we will have lunch at a restaurant. This will be decided by the guide depending on weather conditions .
Between 3pm and 6pm, depending on the time of year, we will meet up with the group to begin the return trip to El Calafate .
