This trekking circuit is considered the main one in the area, being one of the most attractive and shocking because it leads us to the base of Mount Fitz Roy. Between 07:30 and 09:00 (Schedule to be reviewed and informed the previous day); our guide with the driver picks the passengers to take us to the starting point of the trail, which is located at 18 kms from El Chalten (estimated time of 30/40 minutes in bus). As soon as we leave the town, from inside the vehicle we will begin to amaze of the Andean landscape, with the astonishing valley of Rio de las Vueltas on the right side, and in parts of the road the walls of Fitz Roy are already on sight. When arriving through, the route to Rio Blanco (White River), where the activity begins, we introduce ourselves into a forest populated with Lengas (beech trees) and Ñires, with soft unevenness, and only after one hour of walking, arrive to the first lookout point, which surprises us with a privileged view to Glaciar de Piedras Blancas (White Stone Glacier).

Along with the Fitz Roy, this is the other most important trekking on the area, which ends with a stunning view to one of the most difficult to climb mountains in the world, the Cerro Torre (Mount Torre). The trail starts from the town itself, with a gentle slope in the first few minutes, always walking along the course of the Fitz Roy River. After 20 minutes of walking, we are amazed to see the Canyon of the Fitz Roy River and behold beautiful bodies of water such as Cascada Margarita (Margarita Cascade). From here, we get to see a delightful sight of the Cerro Torre. Right after, we reach the first lookout point which is ideal to make a first resting stop (at only 01:30 hrs. from El Chalten), and contemplate, besides Cerro Torre, its glaciers and Cordon de las Adelas. If you return to El Chalten through this lookout point, it will be a 3-hour hike, ideal for passengers or groups looking for short duration activities. After this, we walk by (around 1 more hour) a beautiful valley, with little undulations, until reaching De Agostini Base Camp, where surely the elite of hikers and climbers from all around the world will be met, waiting to climb Cerro Torre. We keep hiking for a few more minutes, with the intention of reaching Laguna Torre, with a magnificent view of the mount of the same name, flanked by the Egger, Standhardt and Bifida pointers, accompanied by el Cordon de las Adelas, with its impressive glaciers spilling into the lagoon. After that, the returning hike begins on the same trail.
Note: if the passengers are still energized enough, it is possible to extend the hike to Laguna Torre to “Mirado Maestri” (Maestri lookout point), which takes 2km walk, 45 more minutes, surrounding the Laguna until reaching the end of vegetation, which conforms a natural balcony with a spectacular panoramic view above the Glacier and Laguna Torre.
