The trek to Laguna de los Tres (Mount Fitz Roy’s base) starts from El Chaltén and offers incredible views of Monte Fitz Roy’s granite spires. It’s a moderately challenging 20 km out-and-back hike through lenga forests and past glacial streams, culminating in a steep climb to a turquoise lake directly below the towering peak.
