Start your trip by meeting your guide at our office in El Chalten. Following up, depart by bus to El Pilar - the starting point of your trek - enjoying the beautiful views of De Las Vueltas River and Fitz Roy Mount.
Once at El Pilar, you will start a 1-hour trek bordering the Blanco River and crossing beautiful forests of Lehengas and Ñires. Be prepared to see all kinds of birds; this is an excellent woodpecker-spotting destination! To further add to your adventure, take in incredible glacier views once you get to Piedras Blancas Glacier Viewpoint.
Continuing for about 30 minutes, you’ll reach one of the best views of the extraordinary Fitz Roy Mount that this tour offers you. Then, at approximately 1:30 p.m., you will arrive at Poincenot Camp, where a hot and comforting lunch will be waiting for you.
After lunch, start the descent along the trail and visit the Capri Lagoon, the Estancia Madsen (Madsen Ranch) lookout point and De Las Vueltas River Lookout. You’ll be back in El Chaltén at around 5 p.m.
