Description

The adventure begins when our comfortable minibus picks you up from your accommodation in El Calafate. Once everyone is on board, we embark on a three-hour tour through the mythical National Route 40, a road that crosses the vast and impressive Patagonian steppe. As we advance, the majestic southern Andes begin to appear on the horizon, crowned by the iconic silhouette of Mount Fitz Roy, a spectacle that will take your breath away.
The starting point of the trail is located at the Puente del Río Eléctrico, just 14 kilometers from El Chaltén. There you will receive an individual meal before starting the tour. In the first section, a quiet 6.3 km walk in approximately an hour and a half, will take you to the Piedras Blancas Viewpoint, where you will witness the majesty of the glacier of the same name.
From here, you will have two options to continue:
Group 2: If you prefer a more relaxed walk, you will head with one of the guides to the charming Capri Lagoon, a true natural oasis with spectacular views of the Fitz Roy. Here you will enjoy lunch surrounded by unique landscapes before beginning the descent to El Chaltén.
Group 1: If you are looking for a challenge, you will continue towards the famous Laguna de los Tres. This most demanding section, with an ascent of 430 meters in almost 3 km, will reward you with unforgettable views as you approach the heart of the mountains. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the impressive Fitz Roy massif reflected in the turquoise waters of the lagoon. It is the perfect place to have lunch, take photographs and be amazed by the immensity of nature.

Buena experiencia

Vale la pena, con algunos detalles a pulir. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema. La caminata hasta Desde valió cada paso. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Hubiera preferido menos tiempo de traslado y más en el lugar.

Superó lo que esperábamos. Todo fluyó sin demoras ni esperas largas. Es más accesible de lo que parece, no hace falta estar entrenado. Si volvemos a El Calafate, lo repetimos.

Superou as expectativas

Excelente do início ao fim. Não é o mais barato, mas se justifica. A caminhada até Fitz Roy valeu cada passo. Super recomendado.

Amazing day

Could not have gone better. For what is included, the price is more than fair. Our guide was warm and took time to chat with everyone. The pre booking support answered all our questions clearly. We had enough time at Patagonia to really enjoy it. Suitable for any age.

Sin palabras

Vale muchísimo más de lo que cuesta. Las fotos de Guiado no le hacen justicia. Nos acompañó un guía muy cálido, que se tomó el tiempo de charlar con cada uno. Muy recomendable para cualquier edad.

Excelente

Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. Llegar a Patagonia fue impresionante. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.
