Note: This is a tour extension. Please combine this trekking trip with another Patagonia travel package for a complete tour.
Fly into the El Calafate airport and greet your Patagonia tour guide to escort you to the bus station for the journey to El Chaltén. Check into your lodge in El Chaltén for the night which is a traditional Patagonian-style hostel inspired by 20th-century estancias.
Wake up early this morning and follow your Patagonia tour guide to the trailhead for a full-day Laguna de los Tres excursion. Start off with a 2-hour hike of moderate difficulty. From El Chaltén, trek to the Poincenot camping site, the starting point for the trek. Ascend a steep but short incline of 400m, pass by moraines and take in incredible views of the Laguna de los Tres and the adjacent river of frozen ice. Continue to the Sucia Lagoon embraced by a ring of striking glaciers. Admire the sunrise over the icy, white landscape and the light appearing above the Mount Fitz Roy peak. Then trace the tracks of footsteps back to the Poincenot camping site and return to El Chaltén in the late afternoon. Unwind and relax at your hotel in the evening.
Rise with the sun again and board a bus to El Calafate. Check into your hotel and recover from the hike the day before. Then venture out to explore the area, enjoy an evening meal in the town or dine at the hotel's restaurant.
After this short but memorable trekking tour, transfer to the El Calafate airport today for your flight to Buenos Aires or to your next destination.
