The collection
01A glassy Patagonian lake at the base of Fitz Roy—Laguna Capri rewards early starts with reflective light, big granite views and an easy-to-reach taste of the region’s best hikes.
02A short, character-rich trail in El Chaltén that frames Fitz Roy’s granite faces and the moraines of a receding ice age. Ideal as a half-day hike or as a calm complement to longer guided circuits.
03At Mirador de los Cóndores the landscape explains itself—granite peaks, wind-carved valleys, and condors circling the thermals. This accessible viewpoint is a compact Patagonia primer, perfect as a morning outing or a key stop on a day tour from El Calafate.
04A demanding, high-reward trek into the heart of Los Glaciares National Park. Laguna de los Tres delivers the closest, most dramatic view of Fitz Roy for hikers who are ready to earn it.
