LAGUNA DE LOS TRES, LOS GLACIARES
Hikers visiting Torres del Paine often add on an expedition to the national park of
Los Glaciares, which offers equally stunning scenery, not to mention a wealth of
day hikes and multiday treks. This 14-mile (22km) hike is one of the classics,
carrying you deep into the mountains of the Fitz Roy range. The name – the Lagoon
of Three – refers to the trio of mountains that lie in wait at the end of the trail:
Cerro Fitz Roy, Aguja Poincenot and Torre, rising like rocky guardians around the
lakeshore. It’s a long but rewarding day hike, with the added bonus that you get to
sleep in a proper bed and get a good meal at the end of the day: the town of El
Chaltén has plenty of accommodation options for hikers.
