Would you like to see the most spectacular views in the Fitz Roy Massif in the south of Argentina? Then this hike is perfect for you. We will reach the surroundings of its stunning walls and get to see its incredible ridges. Come with me on this hike to Laguna de los 3 in El Chaltén and discover one of the best spots in Patagonia.

We will meet in El Chaltén at 8 am and drive to Hosteria El Pilar, where we will start the hike through the Rio Eléctrico valley. After 2-3 hours, we will go through the Piedra Blancas Glacier viewpoint and cross the Poincenot camp. Then, we will face an hour of demanding ascent to the Laguna de Los 3. The return will take us through a different path and we will discover Laguna Capri, descending directly to El Chaltén.

This itinerary has a duration of 7-9 hours and we will cover a distance of 22 kilometers, with an elevation gain of 700 meters. Although it is not necessary to have any prior experience, it is important to have a good level of fitness.

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!

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.

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.
