Mount Fitz Roy 2 Day Hike
Day 1: El Chaltén - Poincenot
We'll pick you up from your accommodation in El Chaltén at 11 am. Then we'll hop on a minibus and set off for the area of El Pilar, where we'll begin our 2-day hike on Mount Fitz Roy.
We'll walk for about an hour until we reach the Piedras Blancas Glacier viewpoint, where we'll stop to admire the extraordinary views. Then we'll continue in the direction of the Río Blanco river and head up towards the Laguna de los Tres. Around two hours later we'll reach our destination - and it'll be worth the climb!
After a well-deserved rest, we'll head back down to the Río Blanco river, and walk another 15 minutes to the campsite at the base of Mount Fitz Roy. Congratulations - you've made it past the first stage!
Day 2: Poincenot - El Chaltén
We'll get up first thing in the morning to enjoy a hearty breakfast and gather our strength for the rest of the day. Afterwards, we'll set off for the Mother and Daughter Lagoons, and you'll fall in love with their deep blue waters!
Next, we'll head to the Torre Lagoon, one of the most famous places in the area. What's more, if the weather allows it, we'll be able to admire the Cerro Torre hill and its Eger and Stanghard spires. After this last stop, we'll return to El Chaltén, where we'll walk you back to your accommodation. Arrival is scheduled for 5 pm.
