Route from the Town

~ The trail begins meanders through Patagonian forest gradually ascending 400m (1300ft) to Laguna Capri (4km), from here the trail passes through flatter terrain, diferents enviroments and landscapes before we reach Campamento Poincenot (8km).

~ Continuing further along the trail begins to steepen and becomes rocky as it climbs to Laguna De Los Tres (10km). This part of the trail is demanding and requires care to pass through safely. Once we arrive at the Laguna we can take in the stunning views of the towering peaks and blue glaciers that make up this inhospitable landscape.

~ After a well deserved rest, snacks and photographs we will begin our way back to town via the same trail.

Start to trek to Laguna de Los Tres at the Rio Electrico Bridge 18 km from town. This is an easier option with more gradual elevation gain to Campamento Poincenot.
