[Patagonia] Sunrise over Fitz Roy
I went to see the first sunrise of 2024 at Meiho Fitzroy!
I went there hoping to take a photo in front of Fitzroy in a Patagonia T-shirt, but when I actually got there, no one was there.
I was moved to see the morning glow at Fitzroy!
Fitzroy can be reached from El Chalten, but if you are camping, you can get close to Fitzroy, but you have to climb the mountain with your camping gear on your back. If you go from the city, the trekking distance increases significantly. I took the latter route from the hostel, but I had to arrive at sunrise, so I left the hostel at 1:30 and arrived at 5:30. However, it was quite difficult to go on a mountain trail I had never been on before in pitch darkness with only a headlamp. If you rely on signs and your intuition, you will get there.
I also went to Laguna Torre, so it was a 13-hour trek to the hostel. It was the most tiring trek of the day trekking, so I don't really recommend it. It might be good if you want to rest all day the next day.
