Another fantastic day!!! The team treks to Laguna de los Tres.
Hi everyone!
We’ve been incredibly lucky with the weather and enjoyed a beautiful hike in perfect conditions.
This time we went to Lagunas de los Tres. The views of the Fitz Roy-Chaltén massif and the lakes in the area were spectacular!
On the way down, we even spotted an Austral Pygmy-Owl, also commonly known as a Caburé. This type of owl is rarely seen.
Tomorrow we’re going on our last hike in Argentine Patagonia. This hike is to a viewpoint from where you can see both massifs: Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the good weather continues.
That’s all for now.
All the best!
Hike to Laguna Torre
Hello family and friends!
Today, we woke up to a beautiful sunrise.
After breakfast, we began our hike towards Laguna Torre.
We were very lucky with the weather. The Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy-Chalten massifs were completely clear. It doesn’t get any better than this. We enjoyed an extraordinary day and fantastic views.
Back at Hotel Los Cerros in El Chalten, we enjoyed the facilities and went out for dinner at Restaurante Patagonicus, a classic in town.
Tomorrow we’re going to hike to Laguna de Los Tres. We’re having a great time here in Patagonia!
Cheers!
The Alpine Ascents team arrives in Patagonia!
Hello everyone!
We are happy to announce that our group of trekkers arrived in El Calafate, the hub for travelers in this area of Argentine Patagonia, and today traveled to the small town of El Chaltén, near the Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre massifs. Along the way, they enjoyed views of Lake Argentino (the largest freshwater lake in Argentina) and Lake Viedma (the deepest lake in the Americas according to recent research). They also had the opportunity to observe guanacos (camelids native to South America) and rheas (flightless birds).
They took their first introductory hike to the Eagle and Condor viewpoints, where they were able to see some of these magnificent birds in flight. The team enjoyed their welcome dinner at Hotel Los Cerros, and tomorrow they will go on a longer hike to Laguna Torre.
That’s all for now. More soon!
Cheers!
Josè and the team
TEAM VISITS PERITO MORENO GLACIER
Hi everyone!
The team had another outstanding day. They left for El Calafate early in the morning and could enjoy the classic view of the El Chalten skyline one more time in a beautiful morning. After a scenic drive, they reached the footbridges overlooking the Perito Moreno Glacier. After a short walk, team members boarded the catamaran to observe this impressive glacier from up close.
Today, they are traveling to Torres del Paine National Park located in Chilean Patagonia.
Be well. More soon!

The guides were excellent; the hikes were beautiful and it was a great experience. I very much enjoyed exploring that part of the world. Overall, a great trip! I’d highly recommend it.
