At the indicated time, our driver will pick you up at the selected hotel to take you to the starting point of the Laguna de Los Tres trekking (Private service-driver only).
We left early in the morning from El Calafate to a small mountain town, famous for being the trekking capital of Argentina. We will drive from El Chaltén to the Poicenot camp (4 hours), and continue crossing the White River. From here on, the path continues with an upward slope of approximately 400 meters of unevenness to the Laguna de los Tres. The path ends on the old slope of the glacial moraine, with an extraordinary view of the lake and glacier De Los Tres. This is the closest view of the granite wall of Mount Fitz Roy and its peripheral spires. Going down the moraine, you can continue along a path that surrounds the lagoon to its mouth, where you can see the desolate Sucia lagoon and its hanging glaciers. At the end of the day we returned to El Calafate.
