Fitz Roy via Laguna de los Tres — March 2024 Trek Report

Waiting in El Chaltén pays off on March 2 with the rarest of gifts: a windless, perfectly clear Patagonian day. The reflection of Fitz Roy's granite towers in Laguna de los Tres is one of South America's defining views. The final moraine scramble earns it. By 2 PM the clouds close back in — the mountain revealing itself for just long enough to remind you why people come here and wait.

Difficulty Assessment
