Day 2 | Fitz Roy Adventure Eco Camp
A menu of options to choose from. Time at leisure to relax.
- Mountain Bike (guided or independent biking): The road has little
traffi c and it a good chance to go all the way to the beautifully
set of Desert Lake.
- Hiking: There is a magnifi cent hike up the Loma Del Diablo,
making it to the ridge or all the way to the summit (1800 mts), the
climb to the summit can only be done if the guide decides to do it
according to present conditions.
- Canoeing/Floating. River guides and the adequate equipment are
available to explore a couple of kilometres of Rio de las Vueltas,
and luckily do so with Mt. Fitz Roy in the skyline.

Day 5 | Return to El Chaltén
There are two options to go back to town. The easy trail down the
valley that leads straight in town, or a much longer a hard walk
across the Tyrolean of Rio Fitz Roy, and then climbing to the
Agachonas Pass, leading down the Pliegue Tumbado and finally into El
Chalten. This second option is an amazing walk but only for those
willing to face a long walking day.
