About this tour

The hike to Laguna de los Tres is one of the most emblematic tours of El Chaltén and an unbeatable opportunity to explore in depth the mountain landscapes of Los Glaciares National Park with a guide dedicated exclusively to you or your group.

We'll begin the day with a private transfer from your accommodation in El Chaltén to the Río Eléctrico Bridge, located about 16 km from the town. From there, we'll start our trek through the Río Blanco valley, venturing into lenga forests and along trails surrounded by imposing peaks.

As we continue, we'll be able to appreciate different perspectives of the Fitz Roy massif and its famous granite spires, such as Saint-Exupéry, Poincenot, Mermoz, and Guillaumet. We'll also enjoy privileged views of the Piedras Blancas Glacier, one of the most striking natural wonders of this Patagonian region.

The trail will lead us to the Poincenot campsite, the starting point for the most challenging section of the day: a steep ascent over moraine terrain, characterized by loose rocks and a marked incline. After this final stretch, we will reach Laguna de los Tres, located at the foot of the majestic Mount Fitz Roy.

Once at the top, you'll have free time to rest, calmly contemplate one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the region—a glacial lagoon surrounded by rock walls and glaciers—and take photographs before starting your return journey.

The return journey will take an alternative route that passes through Laguna Capri, another of the most outstanding panoramic viewpoints in El Chaltén, from where we will once again have open views of Fitz Roy and the Río de las Vueltas valley.

Finally, we will continue the descent on foot until we return to the town of El Chaltén, thus concluding this personalized mountain experience.

The excursion takes between 8 and 10 hours in total and requires a good level of fitness due to the length of the route, the accumulated elevation gain and the difficulty of the final climb.
