Runs all year round.

Optional upgrade: Instead of returning to El Chaltén after the Laguna de los Tres trek, spend the night surrounded by Patagonia’s wilderness at Fitz Camp (glamping experience with half board included). The following day, continue directly towards Laguna Torre avoiding the backtracking to town and turning the journey into a more immersive multi-day trekking adventure.
