About this activity

Live an unforgettable experience in El Chaltén with a night hike to the iconic Laguna de los Tres, one of the most spectacular places to contemplate Fitz Roy. The adventure begins at night, traversing the trails under the Patagonian sky to reach the lagoon just before dawn.

The effort of the hike is rewarded with an extraordinary landscape: as the first rays of the sun begin to appear, the mountains are illuminated and the imposing Fitz Roy is reflected on the waters of the lagoon. If the weather conditions are favorable, you can enjoy a truly unique sunrise, surrounded by the tranquility and nature of Patagonia.

The activity is conducted with a certified guide, who will give an informative talk before starting the hike and will accompany the group throughout the entire route. For greater safety and comfort, the necessary equipment for the night hike is provided.
