The activity begins with the pick up from your hotel. During the journey, you take route 40, surely you can spot local fauna and if the weather is good, see the sunrise over the hills. Once at the destination, we give you a talk about the trail, we give you walking sticks and the map, and the trekking begins. During the first section you will cross the forest until you reach Laguna Capri, the first technical stop. You will be surprised by the color of the water and the nature that surrounds this lagoon, in addition, the views of Fitz Roy are unmissable.
Returning to the trail, we cross the Río Blanco bridge until we reach Camping Poincenot, a totally wild camp in the middle of the native forest. Crossing Poincenot, we arrive at the beginning of the climb to Laguna de los Tres. Due to the altimetry it presents and the terrain conditions, this last kilometer is the most difficult of the trail. During this climb, the views of the landscape are incredible, being able to appreciate Laguna Madre and Hija from the heights.
When it seems that you are about to arrive, another 300 meter climb awaits you, but once at the top, all the effort was worth it. You are surprised by the immense nature and the color of the water. The feeling is impossible to describe in words.

This was as advertised - transportation to and from El Chalten oriented specifically around a long hike (Laguna de Tres Lagos = 20km). You could probably piece together this service for slightly cheaper on your own, but the ease of organization made it worth it, and it was well run.

We had an excellent trip to El Chaltén and the Lagunas de los Tres hike. Alexis from Iceberg Turismo was a wonderful guide (even though it was a self-guided trek). He started the hike well after us and caught up as we were nearing the end of the hike at 1,000m. I think he ran most of the way up!

If, like me, you are only staying 2 days in El Calafate, you should definitely spend one day in El Chaten. The other one al Perito moreno.
This trip is: 3 h bus - 4h hiking - 3h bus
If I have the opportunity to go back to Patagonia, I will make sure to spend at least 2 or 3 days in El Chalten for good hiking
