Our first day of trekking sees us hiking along ~16km of undulating trails towards our first wild camp at Laguna Toro. Along the way, we will pass through forests of ñires and Lenga trees and a wide valley of glacial origin that leads us to our destination. There are spectacular views of the Fitz Roy, Torre and Solo mountains for much of the route.

Our second day is much more challenging but comes with a stunning reward. 

We begin by hiking around Laguna Toro to a zipline set up over the raging Río Túnel. Once we are all safely across, we begin our ascent to one of the most spectacular viewpoints in this part of Patagonia. Our route takes us between huge glacial moraines, across the Lower Túnel Glacier, and through a landscape of stones and stunted vegetation towards the infamous Paso del Viento. We will likely be walking into the wind for which the pass is named, adding to the challenge of the hike.

However, once we reach the pass at 1400m, all the difficulties will be forgotten as you take in the unparalleled view of the immense South Patagonian Icefield, the Mariano Moreno mountain range on the other side of the ice, and the enormous Viedma Glacier. Here we will spend as much time as weather allows - taking photos, enjoying the view, and (if it is not too windy) resting and having something to eat - before retracing our steps to our camp at Laguna Toro. 

Our last day takes us along one of the least visited trails in the park. We start out by hiking through the Río Túnel Valley and then slowly ascend in the direction of the Loma del Pliegue Tumbado. Along the way, we will enjoy beautiful views of Viedma lake, and every break in the forest will reward us with glimpses of Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.  

Once we arrive at the viewpoint, we will have an uninterrupted vista of the Fitz Roy river valley, Cerro Fitz Roy, and Cerro Torre with Glacier Grande spilling down to its base. We will linger here for as long as the weather allows before beginning our final descent towards El Chaltén and a well-deserved shower.
