I had an unforgettable experience in El Chaltén , combining the convenience of round-trip transfers from El Calafate Airport to the El Chaltén Terminal with one of the most spectacular hikes in Patagonia: the guided trek to Laguna de los Tres .
✈️ Transfers included between El Calafate Airport and El Chaltén Terminal.
🏔️ Trekking to Laguna de los Tres , the classic Fitz Roy trail.
🗻 Behold the imposing peaks of the Fitz Roy Massif .
🌲 Walk among ancient lenga forests and Patagonian nature.
❄️ Arrive at Laguna de los Tres , facing the granite walls and glaciers of Fitz Roy.
👨🏫 Trekking accompanied by local mountain guides with more than 30 years of experience .
Your adventure begins with the transfer from El Calafate International Airport to the El Chaltén Terminal , connecting both destinations comfortably so you can start discovering Patagonia without worrying about logistics.
Once in El Chaltén, you will prepare to take one of the most famous hikes in the region: the guided trek to Laguna de los Tres , a route that has been part of the guided experiences of Fitz Roy Expeditions since 1995.
The journey begins at the Electric River Bridge , from where the trail gradually winds its way into the mountain landscape. As you progress, you'll cross lenga forests and observe the traces of ancient glaciers that shaped the valley.
During the journey, some of the great peaks of the massif will appear, such as Saint-Exupéry, Poincenot, Mermoz, Guillaumet and Fitz Roy , accompanying the path towards one of the great moments of the day.
Upon reaching Río Blanco , a former base camp for climbers, the most demanding section of the trek begins: the final ascent up the moraine. The total elevation gain is approximately 900 meters , making it a challenging hike.
The effort is rewarded when Laguna de los Tres finally appears before your eyes, nestled against the enormous granite walls and glaciers of Fitz Roy. This is one of the most iconic landscapes in all of Patagonia and one of the best places to appreciate the sheer scale of the massif.
After enjoying the scenery and resting in this unique natural environment, we will begin the return journey, exploring the Laguna Capri area before finishing again at the starting point.
The experience is accompanied by local mountain guides , with decades of experience hiking the trails of El Chaltén and a deep knowledge of the natural environment.
At the end of your stay, you will again have the transfer from the El Chaltén Terminal to the El Calafate Airport , completing a proposal designed to combine adventure and practicality.
Distance: 22 km Duration: 8 to 10 hours Difficulty: Demanding Accumulated elevation gain: approx. 900 m Season: October to April Start/Finish: Electric River Bridge Here I think it's important to make "demanding" very visible, because for a Tangol promotion it's better that the passenger understands from the beginning that it's not an easy hike.
Éramos dos amigas viajando en verano desde El Calafate y este combo nos cerró perfecto: traslado cómodo, guía atento y trekking a Laguna de los Tres, con paisajes increíbles. La subida fue intensa, pero hicimos una pausa junto a un arroyo para mate y fotos. Incluye tiempo libre en El Chaltén; por el precio, suma muchísimo frente a reservarlo todo aparte. Volvimos felices y con las piernas en modo gelatina.
Picking us up in El Calafate made this huge summer day surprisingly easy. Our little group clicked fast: a British couple, two Brazilians, and us, all swapping snacks and terrible Spanish jokes by the trailhead. The drive to El Chaltén was gorgeous, with guanacos appearing like roadside celebrities. We hiked through lenga forest, paused at Piedras Blancas viewpoints, and tackled the final climb to Laguna de los Tres—tough, but absolutely worth the view of Fitz Roy. Our guide kept the pace friendly and pointed out condors. Coffee and a quick town wander afterward rounded it off perfectly.
Nossa primeira viagem internacional em família começou com esse passeio e foi certeiro. O atendimento da Tangol na reserva foi paciente com nossas dúvidas sobre as crianças e confirmou tudo pelo WhatsApp, até o horário exato do pickup. O transfer saiu pontual de El Calafate; em El Chaltén, o roteiro até a Laguna de los Tres estava bem organizado, com paradas claras e tempo suficiente para fotos. Meus filhos apelidaram o guanaco de “cachorro cabeludo” e ainda falam dele!
Nach einem Jahr Schreibtisch-Marathon war dieser Tag genau richtig: Transfer ab El Calafate, Wanderung zur Laguna de los Tres, Fotostopps und kleine Pausen zum Staunen. Unser Guide Martín kannte wirklich jeden Stein – sogar, wo morgens die Huemules auftauchen. Er erklärte Wetter, Pflanzen und Fitz Roy locker und witzig. Wir zwei Freundinnen kamen müde, glücklich und mit viel zu vielen Fotos zurück.
En basse saison, on a fait le transfert depuis El Calafate puis la randonnée vers la Laguna de los Tres : organisation fluide et paysages incroyables. Martín, notre guide, connaissait vraiment le coin ; il nous a indiqué un petit belvédère sur le Fitz Roy que nous aurions raté seules. Il a aussi ajusté les pauses à notre rythme. Pour le tarif promo, transport et accompagnement sont franchement imbattables. Le maté partagé à l’arrivée était la touche parfaite.
