Gorgeous trek to Fitzroy 🏔️🌲🥾

When in Patagonia, make sure to add El Chalten and the Laguna de Los Tres hike to your list! This stunning 15 mile trail through rocky paths and wooded areas winds past enormous glaciers and beautiful mountain scenery. After ascending 3500 feet, you’ll reach the frosty blue Laguna de Los Tres at the base of Mount Fitzroy. The weather at the top can be incredibly cold and windy, but if the weather cooperates, take a rest by the lake to enjoy a snack. After reaching the summit of the trail, descend on foot back to El Chalten. The trail ends at the edge of town. Tips: 🔹Take a bus to Rio Eléctrico to start the hike. This lets you cover 15 miles of one-way distance, rather than 7.5 each way out-and-back. Tour offices in town can set you up for this shuttle. 🔹There are many streams along this trail. Bring a filter to fill your own water bottles along the way. 🔹The weather is unpredictable. Be prepared for blaring sun, freezing winds, and even rain. Pack layers! 🔹Have fun and enjoy the view at the top! #travelinspiration #southamerica #argentina #hiking
