[2025 Lago Argentino Department Attraction] Travel Guide for Fitz Roy (Updated May)

Patagonia stretches across the border between Argentina and Chile. Among them, Fitz Roy, which is 3,400m above sea level and is the Patagonia logo, is the best spot. There are hiking trails and climbing routes, and you can enjoy breathtakingly beautiful scenery. Many people start walking late at night to see the sunrise, and descend in the morning after the sun has risen. It's a must-see at least once in your life. #photogenicspot #climbing #patagonia #argentina #chile #breathtakingview

Access: On foot Tourist spot: Fitz Roy Hotel: Campsite Meals & Restaurants: Self-catering Shopping: Purchases at shops in El Chalten On the first day, we walked from El Chalten to the campsite for about 4 hours. The roads are well maintained and easy to walk on. The campsite costs 2,000 yen per night. Camping equipment can be rented in the city. The campsite also has water taps drawn from the river so you can wash your hands and brush your teeth. Day 2 We set off at 5:30 to see the burning Fitz Roy. We reached the summit in about 2 hours. Just before 8am, Fitz Roy was turning red. It was a trip that left us blown away by the amazing nature of Patagonia.

#aprilblooms #argentina #hiking My visit to El Chaltén was a peaceful escape into nature. Nestled in the Andes, the town was small and charming, with cozy cafés and mountain views in every direction. I spent hours wandering its quiet streets, meeting friendly locals and other travelers. The vibe was relaxed, perfect after long hikes. Even just walking around, the dramatic peaks like Fitz Roy felt ever-present. El Chaltén offered both adventure and calm—every corner of the town felt connected to the wild beauty around it.

The logo of a famous outdoor brand named after this region is Fitz Roy on the Argentine side⛰️ Lake Torres, located about 10km one way from the village of El Chalten at the foot of the mountain, is a popular trekking course, and can only be climbed without heavy equipment during a limited period of time during the summer when there is no snow (winter in Japan). However, it is quite a climb, and the last 1km or so is an extremely steep scree field that can really get you in the groove, so you need to be prepared at a minimum⚠️ Make sure to bring food, drinks, and removable clothing. If you have a walking stick, it will be much easier! This time, we climbed to see the red Fitz Roy on New Year's Day. It took me almost 5 hours to climb from midnight, and I was exhausted and almost gave up, but I made it just in time and was able to see the magnificent natural beauty with my own eyes 🙌 Fitz Roy seen from Lake Torres is exactly as the logo says, and I was so happy to come. I was truly moved 🥹 *The photos on the way were taken on the return journey.

#mountainhike Argentina offers a variety of stunning mountain hiking destinations. One of the most popular options is the breathtaking Patagonia region, where you can explore the majestic peaks of the Andes Mountains. Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre in Los Glaciares National Park are iconic hiking spots. Another great choice is the Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, located in the Andes near the border with Chile. It's important to plan your hiking trip carefully, considering factors like weather conditions and physical fitness. Remember to pack appropriate gear and consult local guides for a safe and enjoyable experience. #Argentina #myhiddengems

View along the way of hiking Fitz Roy Real view, real picture, real walk with an average round trip distance of 27 kilometers. Anyone can walk on the hiking trail in Patagonia. The trail pattern is not too difficult. But... it depends on mental and physical endurance. For me, walking this trail depends on the heart. Because we will walk around the mountain, crossing many hills. The trail does not have much climbing, except!!!! Except when approaching the peak of Fitz Roy, this trail will have steep and high steps. It makes you feel like you have arrived, but... you have not arrived yet. And as I said, it depends on your own heart. With the beautiful view along the way, it helps reduce fatigue a lot. And importantly, start walking early in the morning. The air is fresh and cool. And you will not have to rush. You can relax all the way and do not have to rush back down the mountain. If anyone goes down the mountain slowly and the sky is dark, don't be alarmed. Bring a flashlight and walk down slowly. Many hikers like to go down late at night. #withmyshutter #travelblogger #photo #travel #travelphotography #fitzroy #patogonia #wintertravel

Before entering El Chalten, don't forget to stop and take a picture of this view. I drove to El Chalten to go hiking at one of the most famous mountains in the world, "Patagonia". In Patagonia, you can hike to see the Fitz Roy peak on both sides: Argentina and Chile. For this trip, I hiked in Argentina. The view along the way, just driving, I was amazed by the beauty of the view on both sides. I parked the car on the road to take pictures with the view of the Patagonia peaks. The view is worth millions. Before entering El Chalten village, I stopped to take a picture at the village sign, which was also very beautiful. This village is not very big. Tourists come to stay to prepare for hiking. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops. It was a wonderful vacation. "I'm in love with Patagonia already......" #withmyshutter #bloggerstyle #bloggertravel #patagonia #photooftheday #elchalten #tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน

The official name is “Cerro Fitz Roy” or “Cerro Fitz Gerardo”, and the mountain was named in honor of Roberto Fitz Roy, a Spanish naval officer. The Fitz Roy trek is usually planned as a day hike that can be completed in one day, but it can vary depending on the length and conditions of the trail. Hikers should always be properly equipped and prepared for safety, and consider the weather and mountain conditions. We start in the dark of dawn to see the sunrise at Fitz Roy, but I just got enough sleep and set off. Because the distance is very far, bring plenty of packed lunch, snacks, and water.

#Overseas travel 🇦🇷Fitz Roy is located in the Patagonia region of Argentina. It is located in a region called El Chanten, and people traveling to South America usually take a 4-hour bus ride from El Calafate. Fitz Roy, which is also the logo of the famous brand Patagonia.. It is as beautiful as its reputation⭐️ If you reach the summit at sunrise, you can see Fitz Roy burning red like the main photo. To see this, you have to start hiking at dawn. The summit altitude is about 2,500m, which is incomparably high compared to our country, so you have to be careful of the cold! The hike takes about 4-5 hours one way, but you can't see anything at dawn, so a lantern is a must🏮 The last 1km section is a hellish course, so hiking sticks and shoes are absolutely essential! Fitz Roy is one of the five most memorable moments during my trip to South America. I highly recommend you go👋 #SouthAmerica #Argentina #FitzRoy
