HIKING PATAGONIA: MOUNT FITZ ROY: EL CHALTÉN, ARGENTINA
Our second day in El Chaltén!
This time we hiked the Laguna de Los tres to see mount Fitz Roy.
This trail is said to be the most challenging due to the extreme incline on the last 30 minutes of the hike.
This hike is recommended only for those who are in good physical condition.
This was the hardest hike we have ever done but the view along the way, made it all worth it.
Our favourite part was the flowing river where we took a break and got some fresh Patagonian water to refill our water bottle.
Yes, the water is safe to drink!
The strenuous hike was a pain but once you see the blue laguna at the summit of Cerro Fitz Roy, it was the best feeling ever!
Total hike was 9 hours (5 up, and 4 to go back to town).
Don't forget to see another video of us hiking the Laguna Torre to see Cerro Torre:

Fitz Roy Patagonia - Hikes from El Chalten
Senda al Fitz Roy is a 8 h hiking trail in Patagonia to the Lago de los tres. If there's no clouds you can see the mount Fitz Roy (3405m). The last km of the 10 km hike is quite steep and rocky so be careful on strong winds and rain. There's no need to bring a lot of water since you can refill you bottles at several spots on the trek with crystal clear glacier water. Great taste!!!
The next day we went to the Laguna Torre which is a more easy 6h hike.

- Best Time for Hiking in El Chalten -
The best time for trekking in El Chalten is in summer -- the season starts in Oktober and lasts until April. Before and after the season most hostels/hotels and restaurants are closed.
- Hiking to Cerro Tore & Laguna Torre -
This is an easy day hike where you don't have to be an experience hiker -- take some sunscreen, water and food. After around 3h you'll be at the Laguna Torre.
- Hiking to Monte Fitz Roy & Laguna Torre -
The most beautiful trail gets you close to the Monte Fitz Roy, the destination is called Laguna de los Tres. You should start at dawn in El Chalten to avoid the day tourists from Calafate. Be prepared as the trail is pretty tough at the end!
- Circuit Trail to Fitz Roy & Cerro Torre (multi day) -
Due to the well marked hiking trails you can easily connect both treks to a multi-day itinerary with camping.
My travel, the video production as well as the creation of the Hiking Guide Cerro Torre & Mt. Fitz Roy Trek in El Chalten is self-funded -- please support me by sharing this video -- thanks!

Mt. FITZ ROY Hike @ LOS GLACIARES National Park (Budget Travel Argentina) {El Chalten, ARGENTINA}
Budget Travel Argentina #13
A Mt. Fitz Roy hike in Los Glaciares National Park (Parque Nacional) is the crown jewel within the village of El Chalten, Argentina's trekking capital.
One of the best hikes in the Andes, maybe one of the best hikes in South America, the views are so magnificent, many visitors camp overnight in order to view the sunrise on Mt. Fitz Roy and its magnificent colors.
Weather didn't permit an early morning hike for Matt. So, he's left with a push to reach the trail's end and return to town, 20 kilometers, in one day.

El Chaltén is the trekking capital of Argentina and one of the best spots for hiking and climbing in Patagonia. From the several hiking options in this area we chose the popular hike to Cerro Torre and Laguna Torre first before hiking to Fitz Roy and Laguna de los tres on another dayhike.
Now we decided to also hike the Huemul Circuit - a challenging multi day trek which I already completed 3 years ago. Though it is a tough trek it totally pays off with the incredible views you get: from the glaciers of the Patagonian Ice Field to the turquoise waters of the Viedma lake.
This part of the trip was executed within 4 days and this is what we saw:
- Southern Patagonian Ice Field
- Cerro Torre
- Monte Fitz Roy
- Laguna Toro
- Galciar Rio Tunel Inferior & Rio Tunel
- Paso del Viento
- Viedma Glacier / Glaciar Viedma
- Cerro Huemul / Vuelta Huemul
- Paso Huemul
- Lago Viedma
- Bahia Tempanos
- Bahia Rio Tunel
- Campo Hielo Sur
- El Chalten
I'm excited to share all our experiences in Patagonia over the course of the next 6 weeks with you. In the next episode we will visit the Perito Moreno Glacier near El Calafate, Argentina and meet impressive characters along the way.
The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.

Chalten: what you need to know & hiking Fitzroy
I spent 10 days in Chalten before being able to hike Fitzroy, so here is my take on this ''off the beaten path'' hiking destination in Patagonia. It's a young and small town in Argentina and these are the key things to know before you go.
I also take you guys along as we do the one must do hike here to Lago de los Tres, which offered a great challenge and some incredible views.

Border Crossing & Things to do in El Chaltén, Argentina (Patagonia Expedition #05)
In the 5th episode of the Patagonia Expedition we are doing the 2 day border crossing from Villa O’Higgins to El Chalten and explore the best Things to do in El Chalten.

The Carretera Austral is a 1200km long road in the south of Chile which connects the most remote areas of the country. The ruta 7 is a paradise for adventure seekers as it is a mostly unpaved road which brings you to the lesser known parts of Patagonia in the stunning Los Lagos and Aysen Region.
Our plan was to get from Puerto Montt till Villa O’Higgins by thumb to get in touch with locals and fellow adventurers along the way. After finishing this adventure in the last episode we wanted to get to El Chaltén in Argentina with a visit to the O’Higgins Glacier and an overnight stay at the Farm Candelario Mancilla.
To do the border crossing from Villa O’Higgins to El Chaltén one first needs to take a boat to cross the O’Higgins lake and get to Candelario Mancilla on the other side. We opted in for the additional boat excursion to see the O’Higgins Glacier and have some whisky with ice from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
The next stretch we needed to hike for 22km to Laguna del Desierto where we took another boat to cross over to the southern shore where we spend the night camping before hitchhiking the remaining 37km to El Chaltén.
El Chaltén is the trekking capital of Argentina and one of the best spots for hiking and climbing in Patagonia. From the several hiking options in this area we chose the popular hike to Cerro Torre and Laguna Torre first before hiking to Fitz Roy and Laguna de los tres on another dayhike.
This part of the trip was executed within 1week by using altogether 2 boat, 1 bus and one car - following I list all the places we visited & Things to do in el Chalten:
- O'Higgins Glacier / Bernardo O’Higgins National Park
- Southern Patagonian Ice Field
- Candelario Mancilla
- Villa O'Higgins
- O’Higgins Lake / Lago O’Higgins or Lago San Martin
- Cerro Torre and Laguna Torre
- Monte Fitz Roy and Laguna de los tres / laguna sucia
- Lago del Desierto
- El Chalten

HIKING PATAGONIA : MOUNT CERRO TORRE : EL CHALTÉN, ARGENTINA
This video covers a 4 hour hike up Mount Cerro Torre.
We stayed in El Chaltén, and did not camp as we didn't bring any camping gears. There were many places to buy/rent the gears but we wanted a comfortable bed at the end of the day. From town, you head towards the trail to Laguna Torre.
This was our first day of hiking, and was the hardest one. Although the ground was flat all along, our body was in shock. Total hike time was 7 hours. Our second day (hiking Laguna de Los Tres) was a 9 hours hike and far more challenging but our body got used to it by then. Don't forget to watch our 2nd day adventure:

Mindblowing Trek in El Chalten Patagonia I Fitz Roy
Our last minute trip to El Chalten Patagonia. We stop thinking about this place and that's why we book our flight to the South of Chile and hop on a few buses to get to El Chalten. Our goal was to hike Fitz Roy (Cerro Fitz Roy). Fitz Roy is located close to El Chalten - an absolutely stunning touristy village and probably the best trek to do in El Chalten Argentina.
We will never forget this day - probably one of our favorite days so far and we put a lot of work in this video. We consider this video as one of our best videos we have ever done. Spread some love.

Huffington Post:
The town of El Chalten in the south of Argentina is the epitome of Patagonia. A very remote location, surrounded by hostile and rugged scenery, snow capped mountains and hiking galore. After my first hike in El Chalten, Argentina to the Chorrillo del Salto waterfall I came up this little hike in the morning to get a view over the town of El Chalten.
ANOTHER El Chalten Argentina Patagonia Hike:
This little hike to the viewpoints over El Chalten were short, not very demanding but provided a gorgeous view at the end. One hike is called Eagle Viewpoint or Mirador Aguilas and Mirador de los Condores because the Condor birds often circle atop the mountain looking for prey below.
These two short hikes in El Chalten are easy to do in just an hour or two, depending on your speed and you can easily do both in a morning or afternoon as both in and out hikes begin and end in the same location.
For more hikes from El Chalten Argentina and more videos from Argentina and Patagonia make sure to stay tuned.

Los Glaciares National Park is home to the magnificent Fitz Roy Massif and more glaciers than any other region in Patagonia. The park is renowned for its day hiking - nowhere else can you walk straight out of your hotel door onto a hiking trail, to eat lunch right by a glacier.
