Alpine Fitz Roy Circuit – 3 days
ITINERARY
Day 1
We take our shuttle to the Eléctrico River bridge. We hike a couple of hours to Piedra del Fraile hut. We greet the staff of the place and continue our hike. We climb about 1000 meters over a marked path at the beginning, and then over a series of glacial moraines. After about three hours we arrive in Piedra Negra bivouac, where we will camp on that night.
Day 2
We get up very early in the morning, we have breakfast and begin the approach to Paso Guillaumet by the right (orographic) margin of the remnant glacier.
Once we reach the pass, and perhaps just at dawn, we will pass under the east walls of the needles Guillaumet, Mermoz, Val de Bois and the incredible east face of Fitz Roy.
We continue our way through cracks into the Paso SupeRíor, where we will surely find climbers resting or getting ready to go. We will descend to Laguna de los Tres, where we will spend the night.
Day 3
We begin our descent towards El Chalten. After a few passages of rock we start to see more and more people coming to the Laguna de los Tres. We continue our descent to La Cervecería where Manuela or Blanca will be waiting for us with a tasty homemade beer! Chin chin!
