3 hiking days by El Chalten

On our first day, we go beyond the national park to Los Huemules Nature Reserve, a serene place with great chances to spot wildlife. The 8.7-mile trail follows the Diablo River through the forest to Diablo Lake, a glacial lake at the base of Cagliero Glacier. We visit Cagliero Hut to share a hot drink with pancakes. On the way back, we can stop at Laguna Verde and Laguna Azul, both surrounded by native forest and mountains. On day two, we take it easy to rest for the next morning and visit the classic Cóndores & Águilas viewpoint on the outskirts of town. We enjoy the views and take photos. On our last day, we take on the final challenge: Laguna de los Tres, a Patagonia highlight. This glacial lake sits at the base of the glaciers surrounding Fitz Roy, or as we locals call it, Cerro Chaltén. The demanding 10-12 hour hike goes from Río Eléctrico to El Chaltén, passing Piedras Blancas Glacier viewpoint, Poincenot camp and Capri lake, with granite moraines and unique views of the Fitz Roy massif.
