[Argentina] Cerro Fitz Roy

[Charms of Fitz Roy] • A symbol of spectacular views The sharp rocky peaks that stand as if piercing the sky are the object of admiration for climbers and trekkers around the world. Fitz Roy, dyed red by the morning glow (especially the view from Laguna de los Tres), is overwhelmingly beautiful. • A paradise for hiking and trekking The trails starting from El Chalten village are well maintained and can be enjoyed by beginners to intermediate hikers. The trail to the popular Laguna de Los Tres is at a level that can be done as a day trip (6 to 8 hours round trip). • Good access The village of El Chalten itself, which serves as the base for climbing, is relatively easy to access even in Patagonia. You can walk from the village to Fitz Roy, so you can trek on your own without having to organize a special tour. • A sense of unity with nature You can walk in the overwhelming natural surroundings, and if you're lucky, you may even encounter condors and wild animals. The air is also very clear, allowing you to truly experience "melting into nature." ⸻ [Recommended Points] • Laguna de los Tres A spot where you can get a close-up view of Fitz Roy. Fitz Roy towering over the lake is also very photogenic. • Laguna Capri A spectacular spot that can be reached in a relatively short time. Recommended for those who are short on time or want to do a light hike. • Sunrise Hike Starting out while it is still dark and watching Fitz Roy dyed in the morning glow from Laguna de los Tres is a fantastic experience. It is essential to take precautions against the cold, but the excitement is all the more impressive.
