[2025 Lago Argentino Department Attraction] Travel Guide for Mirador del Fitz Roy (Updated Jun)

[Climbing Fitz Roy | A challenge to a spectacular view greeted by glacial jewels and spires] — An 8-10 hour hike through the wilderness to one of the world's most spectacular views, Laguna de los Tres, and the peak of Fitz Roy — A one-day hike starting and ending in El Chalten, with a total length of about 21 km, an elevation difference of about 800 m, and a duration of 8-10 hours. Alternatively, a 2-day plan with a camping stop is also popular. The beginning is a gentle climb → forest and grassland → Laguna Capri, and the final 1 km/400 m steep rocky climb to the core. Near the top, you can enjoy a spectacular view of Fitz Roy towering over the deep blue Laguna de los Tres. ⸻ 📍【Starting point】 The end of San Martin Street in El Chalten (Laguna de los Tres trailhead)  🕰【Best time】 The best conditions are in the summer months of November to March. It is prone to clouds, so leave early in the morning, around 5am, to enjoy a quiet and less cloudy view. ⸻ ✨【Recommended points】 • The clear blue lake and the impressive figure of Fitz Roy that spread out beyond the steep climb are impressive. • The view at Laguna Capri, a famous spot on a par with Fitz Roy, is also wonderful. • It is OK for a day trip or overnight stay. An overnight camp in Laguna, enveloped in the light of the magic hour, is especially fantastic. 🎒【Tips】 Start early in the morning to avoid crowds and clouds. Prepare hiking poles and non-slip shoes for the final steep climb. Don't forget to bring drinking water (at least 2L), snacks, rain gear, and cold weather gear.  ⸻ #ElChaltén #FitzRoy #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

#Overseas travel Overseas travel Argentina El Chalten's ⭐️Mirador Laguna Capri⭐️ is one of the representative hiking courses here. You can see the peak of Fitz Roy from this lake, which can be reached in about 2 hours one way. If you climb at dawn before the sun rises, you can see the three peaks of Fitz Roy that are lit up red by the so-called burning sweet potato sunride. If there are no waves in the small lake, the peaks are reflected very well, making the scenery very beautiful. 🎯M3R8+C7, El Chalten, Santa Cruz, Argentina #Mirador #FitzRoy #FitzerRoy #Argentina #Hiking

#aprilblooms #argentina #hiking My day hiking to Mirador Fitz Roy started early with clear skies and crisp mountain air. The trail began gently from El Chaltén, winding through forests and open valleys. As I climbed higher, the views kept getting better—snow-capped peaks, rushing rivers, and eventually, the stunning sight of Mount Fitz Roy itself. The mirador was the perfect spot to take it all in without tackling the full Laguna de los Tres hike. Tips: - Start early for good light and fewer people - Bring water and a light snack - Wear layers—it can be chilly even on sunny days - The trail is moderate, but sturdy shoes help - Take your time—lots of great spots for photos along the way
