About this tour

The Laguna de los Tres excursion is one of the most emblematic hikes in El Chaltén and a unique opportunity to discover the mountain landscapes of Los Glaciares National Park up close.

We'll begin the experience with a transfer from El Chaltén to the Río Eléctrico Bridge , located approximately 16 km from the town . From there, we'll start our hike through the Río Blanco valley , crossing lenga forests and trails surrounded by imposing mountains.

During the tour, we'll be able to admire different perspectives of the Fitz Roy massif and its iconic granite spires , including Saint-Exupéry, Poincenot, Mermoz, and Guillaumet . We'll also have the opportunity to appreciate the Piedras Blancas Glacier, one of the most outstanding natural landscapes in this part of Patagonia.

We'll continue to the Poincenot campsite, where the most demanding part of the day begins: a steep climb over moraine terrain, with loose rocks and significant inclines. This final effort will take us to Laguna de los Tres, located at the foot of the imposing Mount Fitz Roy .

Upon arrival, we'll be treated to one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the region: a glacial lagoon surrounded by granite mountains, glaciers, and rocky cliffs, creating an unforgettable natural setting . We'll have time to relax, enjoy the surroundings, and take photos before beginning our return journey.

The descent will be made along a different path, passing through Laguna Capri, another of the most picturesque spots in El Chaltén, from where we can once again contemplate Fitz Roy and the valley of the Río de las Vueltas.

Finally, we will continue descending until we reach the town of El Chaltén, where this mountain adventure will end.
