TREKKING TO CAPRI LAGOON IN EL CHALTÉN

The 8-kilometer route begins at the end of San Martín Avenue, right where the urbanized land of El Chaltén ends. An area to park the vehicles is there. Don’t forget we’re inside Los Glaciares National Park.

While the activity is generally “soft”, the first hour of walking is done on a slightly steep slope. After touring it, you enter a natural viewpoint that is located in the Rio de las Vueltas Valley.

The tour continues and, just a few minutes later, you access the Arroyo del Salto Valley with direction to Mount Fitz Roy. Now, Los Ers begin to be part of the stage, keeping them ever closer and leafy and how can they not? These surround the path!

After an hour and a half of walking you will find the sign that tells us what’s ahead: on the left is the viewpoint of the imposing Fitz Roy and on the right the magical Laguna de los Tres. Both panoramas are unmatched, however, and each has its special charm.

But, it turns out that from the lagoon you will also have an unbeatable view of the Fitz Roy and its peripheral needles, giving you one of the classic postcards of El Chaltén. Impossible to visit the villa and not have it!

If you want to go straight to the Fitz Roy viewpoint, you must have 30 to 40 more minutes to get there. Take your time out! You can’t miss it! It is a natural viewpoint, rocky, super well signposted. In addition, it has a sign that helps you interpret the mountainous panorama and glacier that you will have in front of your eyes.
