Mount Fitz Roy Hike

“Instead of a regular out-and-back hike from El Chalten, we recommend taking a taxi to Hosteria El Pilar (just ask at your hotel front desk) and starting the trek via Piedras Blancas to Mount Fitz Roy and then hike back down to El Chalten. This way you’ll explore more and avoid crowds for a good part of your day.”

Laguna de Los Tres, also known as Cerro Fitz Roy, is one of the most iconic hikes in Patagonia. The scenery on this full-day hike is absolutely stunning with turquoise lakes, hanging glaciers, and the magnificent granite spires of the Patagonian Andes.

Instead of a regular out-and-back hike from El Chalten, we recommend taking a taxi to Hosteria El Pilar (just ask at your hotel front desk) and starting the trek via Piedras Blancas to Mount Fitz Roy and then hike back down to El Chalten. This way you’ll explore more and avoid crowds for a good part of your day.

Don’t forget to pack a lunch box. Partly because there’s no food on this trail, but more importantly – you'll have a chance to enjoy your meal with the stunning view of the Laguna de Los Tres lake and massive Mount Fitz Roy as its backdrop.

The trail is perfectly marked so there’s pretty no chance to get lost. But if you want to be sure at each step of your hike, we recommend installing the AllTrails app and pre-downloading the trails ahead of your hike.

“The tour usually includes a transfer from El Calafate and a visit to the main viewing platform, but we recommend driving and exploring the park on your own, and only joining the tour on the boat to the glacier. This way you can get the best of both worlds – catch a scenic boat ride with the glacier hike, but still explore the glacier independently and avoid 4 long hours on a tour bus.

The Big Ice Adventure is an exhilarating guided excursion that takes you on an unforgettable journey across the vast, awe-inspiring expanse of the Perito Moreno Glacier. This thrilling adventure offers a unique opportunity to explore the glacier's otherworldly landscape of deep crevasses, towering ice formations, and stunning blue-hued caverns.

The Big Ice Adventure begins with a scenic boat ride across Lake Argentino to the edge of the glacier. Equipped with crampons and accompanied by skilled guides, you will embark on an approximately 3-4 hour trek across the ice, traversing the glacier's rugged terrain and learning about its unique geology and formation.

Embarking on the Big Ice Adventure is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that allows you to intimately connect with the powerful, ever-changing landscape of the Perito Moreno Glacier, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Perito Moreno is an iconic glacier offering an unforgettable glacial experience. It is one of the world's few advancing glaciers with a unique setup for all kinds of activities, making it our personal favorite in the world.

The main observation deck is the best place to admire the sheer size of the glacier, with quite frequent opportunities to spot massive 200-feet-high ice walls cracking and dropping into the lake.

El Calafate was a tiny town not that long ago, but being a gateway to an increasingly popular Perito Moreno Glacier transformed it into a fun town with lots of things to do.

El Calafate does have a charming downtown with nice shopping and restaurants. More than enough to chill after the day on the road. Just stroll along the main street and stop wherever you feel like.

But if you look for more to explore, there is Glaciarium – a modern glacier interpretation center, built to entertain and educate about ice, glaciers, and the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.

This full-day out-and-back trail is the easy part of the famous multi-day Huemul Circuit, offering stunning views of the colorful valley, glacial river, and surrounding mountains.

The entire trail is 20-mile long and takes almost 10 hours, but we recommend hiking to the valley, getting yourself a nice view while descending to the river, have a pick-nick with the views for an hour or so, and start heading back to town. You should reach the valley with stunning views in just about 2-3 hours from the start.

If you are in great shape and eager for challenge – hike all the way down to the lake, it is well worth it. You can also spend a night in the campsite near the lake and head back the next day.

While this hike is not that popular among day hikes from El Chalten, we love it because it's way less crowded and provides a unique view of Glaciares National Park.

Driving between El Calafate and Torres del Paine is a journey filled with vast, open landscapes and breathtaking views, usually taking 5-6 hours with the border crossing.

The route begins on paved roads, heading westward along Ruta 40. After crossing into Chile, the roads become a mix of gravel and pavement, winding through rugged terrain and increasingly mountainous surroundings.

The fastest route is by crossing the border at Río Don Guillermo. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on traffic, and once completed, you’re free to continue into Chile toward Torres del Paine.

At the Argentine side, you’ll first stop at the customs office to present your documents, including your passport, vehicle registration, and a special cross-border permit if you're driving a rental car. Once cleared, you’ll proceed a short distance to the Chilean border station. Chile’s regulations are strict, especially regarding fresh produce and animal products, so ensure you’ve discarded any restricted items beforehand.
