Argentina's trekking capital
A tiny village at the foot of the jagged Fitz Roy massif — Argentina's hiking capital, where world-class day treks to glacial lagoons and granite spires start right from the streets.
Everything starts on foot from the village; buses from El Calafate.
Start the Laguna de los Tres hike before dawn to reach the lagoon for Fitz Roy sunrise glow.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Post-hike craft breweries.
