Chalten And Trekking Tour On Fitz Roy

The excursion begins at 7.30 hs from El Calafate. We take the mythic Route 40, which goes along the Argentino Lake up to La Leona River. We will pass by the canyon with the same name “Cañadón La Leona” and after a 1.15 h ride, we will arrive in the ancient route hotel "La Leona", almost a museum of Route 40, where you can have coffee and cakes. Our trip continues along Lake Viedma, from where we will have magical views of glaciers, hidden lakes, and the overpowering presence of Mount Fitz Roy. We will make a photo stops at the viewpoint of the Viedma Glacier and Lake and after a 3 h ride we will arrive at this Andean village called “The Capital of the Trekking”.

After visiting the interpretation center we will continue to our base at El Chalten - the Pudu Lodge- from where travelers will start a self-guided trek to one of the miradors of Mount Fitz Roy and Mount Torre (Laguna Capri, Laguna de Los Tres, Madre e Hija). You don´t need to be an expert to use the clearly-marked tracks. We will provide you with a map and a packed box to carry in your backpack. Around 18 hs travelers should return to Chalten to meet the group. Technical difficulty: Moderate.
