Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre Hiking

The most classical program and the star point for all trekking activities in the area. Designed for those who have only few days in El Calafate, and wish to discover this region of Los Glaciares National Park enjoying wonderful hiking days with cozy lodging at the village. 

We are going to explore in two days the same trails that the greatest alpinists in history walked several years ago to reach the base camps, and climb from there these amazing granite walls.
Our offer is a great itinerary along different viewpoints from where we can see the lagoons, glaciers, colossal patagoniana granite walls, through the Magellan forest.
