It was with great pleasure that I revisited the walk I did nearly 10 years ago in a legendary spot that I have such fond memories of.

⚑Departure from Argentina
Starting from the Rio Eléctrico bridge, this hike leads through the undergrowth with views of the glacier and Fitz Roy to the Poincenot base camp. We then follow the direction of Lago de los Tres via a very steep path which also offers a beautiful view of Fitz Roy. The return is via the same route with a small detour via El Pilar at the end of the trail.
