We leave El Chaltén by car and follow the Río de las Vueltas to reach our starting point 17km away. From there, we hike along a beautiful trail through the lenga forest, following the Río Blanco (White River) towards the Poincenot campsite. Along the way, we will stop to learn a little about the flora and fauna that is characteristic of the Patagonian Andean forest and also visit the beautiful Piedras Blancas (White Rocks) viewpoint. Here we will see the Piedras Blancas glacier and its associated glacial features, including the erratic boulders and lateral moraines left behind as the glacier retreated over the last few decades. We will have many different views of the Fitz Roy mountain chain as we make our way towards our final objective for the day - the magnificent Laguna de Los Tres. This unforgettable setting has the best view of Fitz Roy Mount - and one of the most impressive views in all of Patagonia. When we arrive at the viewpoint, we will find a spot to shelter ourselves from the wind to enjoy our lunch, to then begin our descent towards El Chaltén.
