Description

Come with me on an adventure to the Laguna de Los Tres in El Chaltén in beautiful Patagonia. Together we’ll spend the day hiking and passing stunning lakes, glaciers and impressive mountains as we hike to the laguna.

We’ll meet at El Pilar Hostería in the morning for the start of our trip. If you would like I can organize a transfer for you from your hotel. It’s important that you are properly dressed for hiking and have good hiking shoes. The weather can be very changeable in Patagonia and the wind can be fierce. We’ll also be hiking across ground that is uneven, so your running shoes won’t cut it!

This hike is not extremely difficult but it will begin with a steep section and we will face some more of these sections as we progress. We’ll stop at the Laguna Capri, Poincenot Camp and Rio Blanco along the way. There we’ll be able to enjoy the exceptional views of the mountains.

When we reach the Laguna de Los Tres we’ll have the perfect spot to take it Mont Fit Roy in all its beauty. We’ll take some time to rest here and enjoy the beautiful nature before we start our return.

We’ll be hiking for nine hours and cover around 10 km in that time with an altitude gain of 700 meters.

This is a must-do hike for your trip to Patagonia. Get in touch today to sign up!

Alpine Guide

I moved to El Calafate in 2001 and very soon I started practicing mountain activities, including rock climbing, skiing, hiking and trekking. In 2007, I began to work in the mountains as an assistant guide in Perito Moreno.

I finished my trekking guide course in 2011 and then, in 2015, I completed the following course to become a Mountain Guide.

I manage Zetatrek, a guiding company offering hiking and trekking trips in El Chaltén and Los Glaciares National Park. I work together with a group of guides, so if I'm not available to guide you, one of my colleagues will do it. All the guides in the team are professionally certified, and hold the required permits to guide.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
