The famous Patagonia region of Argentina has some amazing hiking trails, but the very best would have to be the day hike to Mount Fitz Roy and the Laguna De Los Tres!

This entire trek is full of great scenery, and at the end you get to see a spectacular blue glacier lake called Laguna De Los Tres, which sits at the foot of Mount Fitz Roy, one of the most impressive and iconic peaks in South America.

The Fitz Roy hike is a challenge, with plenty of distance and elevation gain, but most hikers will still find it very doable. And even if you don’t go all the way to the lakes, you can still get amazing pictures of the mountains from the Fitz Roy Mirador (viewpoint) after only a moderate amount of hiking from the town of El Chalten.

This travel guide will explain how to do the Laguna De Los Tres hike, what to bring, best time to visit, how to get to El Chalten, and everything else you need to know before you go!

Today we're doing some epic trekking in Patagonia and tackling two of the most popular and most scenic trails in the north end of Los Glaciares National Park. In this episode, we'll be hiking to Laguna Capri for some amazing views of Mount Fitz Roy and then we'll continue towards Laguna de Los Tres.

One thing I liked about trekking in El Chaltén is that you have markers every kilometre, so that kind of gives you an idea of the kind of progress you’re making along the hike. If you see you’re making good time and it’s still early in the day, you can combine your hike with an additional side trail, and if you see you’re struggling, well, at least you know how long it’ll take you to get back to town...
