A full day trek to the Laguna Capri base camp (Fitz Roy base camp). The hike north towards Fitz Roy begins with spectacular views of the massif ahead. The peak was sacred and venerated by local Tehuelche groups who believed the mists enshrouding it were volcanic ash and called it "Chalten" (God of Smoke). We reach Laguna Capri, where Mt Fitz Roy reflects its image in its crystal clear waters, stop en route for lunch and then resume the hike to Laguna de los Tres, at the base of Mt. Fitz Roy. Three glaciers drain into this emerald lagoon with majestic Mt. Fitz Roy towering above. Enjoy spectacular views of Lake Viedma, the sweeping Patagonia steppe and unrivaled Fitz Roy. If you choose to continue down the steep trail to the natural balcony onto Laguna Sucia, you'll also gaze on the Saint Exupiry and Poincenot spires. Return to Los Cerros for a good meal and nights sleep. (B,L,D)

A full day of hiking another Patagonian classic: Mt Torre, famous for its beauty but also for its climbing difficulty. Every year, countless expeditions attempt to reach the summit, but only a few succeed. After a 45 minutes climb, you will reach a level area surrounding an old lagoon where vegetation is starting to grow again. The trail enters a forest with a slight descent leading to a lookout facing the Cerro Torre and the Adelas ranges. The trail ends on the shores of Laguna Torre, offering a stunning view of Mt. Torre surrounded by the Egger and Standhard spires and the Adelas range as a backdrop together with the glacier Torre. Return to Los Cerros. (B,L,D)
