Lake

Laguna de los Tres

Fitz Roy's granite towers rise above a glacial lake at the end of a demanding hike from El Chaltén.

The lake and Fitz Roy appear together as you crest the final moraine. Allow roughly 25 km and 8 to 9 hours return; the last climb is very steep and dangerous in wind or rain. Start early, expect little phone signal, and carry out all rubbish. Campsites need reservations; fires, drones and pets are prohibited.
