Los Glaciares National Park, Patagonia, ARGENTINA
Distance: 62km Total Ascent: 2600m Total Descent: 2600m Time: 30 hours
Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report)
The Fitz Roy area of Argentina’s Los Glaciares National Park, along with Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park, are the two most popular trekking areas in Patagonia. This relatively easy four day walk rewarded us with outstanding views, wonderful photos opportunities and the bonus of gorgeous autumn colours. The highlight was a pre-dawn walk up to Laguna de los Tres for sunrise over the incredibly scenic Cerro Fitz Roy and Laguna de los Tres. However, this walk continued to deliver right up to our walk out to El Chalten on day four.
The walk begins and finishes in the town of El Chalten which can be accessed by regular buses from El Calafate, Argentina .
