The Laguna de Los Tres hike is a challenging trek covering approximately 13.7 miles (22 km) round trip. With an elevation gain of about 3500 feet (1060 m), it offers a demanding ascent. The trail begins with a moderate climb out of the valley, providing a picturesque view of Rio de Las Vueltas.
The terrain flattens out during the middle of the hike. Once you cross Rio Blanco, the trail becomes steeper. The final mile and a half pose a significant challenge with steep and rocky sections. It’s important to watch your footing.
Often known as the Fitz Roy hike, Laguna de los Tres hike offers a variety of interconnected trails that allow you to explore not only Laguna de Los Tres but also other stunning destinations such as Laguna Sucia, Laguna Capri, and Laguna Torre or even Piedras Blancas Glacier. By combining these hikes, you can create a truly unforgettable adventure, immersing yourself in the natural wonders of the region.
The hike is incredibly rewarding despite the difficulty. We’ve seen people of various fitness levels completing the journey. Some accomplished hikers finish it in under 6 hours. How long did it take us, Bennett?🤣
Remember to hike at your own pace and treat yourself to a well-deserved Patagonian mouth watering meal at Restaurante Ahonikenk Chalten Fonda Patagonia and Parilla La Oveja Negra at El Chalten afterward.
