Fitzroy Trek

The Fitzroy Trek is a classic Patagonia climb starting from El Chaltén, a mountain village where adventure outfitters and craft beer are more prevalent than WiFi access. With dozens of trails starting nearby, so you’ll want to do some research and ensure you’re familiar with the route. Taking a wrong turn here and there isn’t uncommon. You’ll also want to double-check your gear and ensure you’re prepared for any sort of weather. However hot it may feel at the base, Los Glaciares National Park – where you’ll be hiking – has notoriously challenging weather. Its high winds are unlike any other, biting through every layer of clothing that isn’t perfectly windproof.
