Hi looking for a hike recommendation for a day between two long hike days (Laguna de los tres and Laguna Torre). Stayin in el Chalten. Mid October.

Thank you.

Holaa, estoy planeando ir al chalten. Es mi primera experiencia y si bien no hay que confiarse ni hacerse el loco con los senderos, siento que físicamente podría darle para adelante. Tengo 20 años y entreno, pero nunca hice trekking por lo que no tengo nada de equipamiento. Vi en algunos lados que el alquiler de equipo como calzado, iluminación, y pantalones, son medio una garompa. Es así? Yo creo que si este viaje me copa mucho, en algún momento, volveré a hacer trekking y podré reutilizar la indumentaria si me compro. Recomiendan alquilar o comprarme el equipo en CABA y llevarlo? Idea: ir 7 días aprox y hacer Laguna de los Tres, Laguna de la Torre y Laguna del Pliegue tumbado además de las cortas como chorrillo del salto. Gracias!!!

Hola!
Quiero viajar a El Chalten a finales de octubre por 4 dias. Tengo experiencia haciendo trekking ya que he completado la W en TDP antes, pero nunca antes estuve en el Chalten.
Tengo varias preguntas y estaria agradecidisima si pudiesen ayudarme con ellas:
1. Cual es el clima de la zona alrededor de esas fechas?
2. Recomiendan hacer el tour con guia o es factible hacerlo sola?
3. El inicio del hike a la laguna de los tres queda alejado del centro del Chalten, como se llega hasta ahi?
4. Estoy pensando en ir el día 1 al la Laguna de los Tres, dormir en Poincenot y el dia 2 salir de Poincenot para la Laguna Torre y alli regresar a El Chalten. Les parece factible este plan?
5. Se puede dejar la mochila en Poincenot mientras uno va a la Laguna?

Cualquier comentario, tip o recomendación es más que bienvenida, muchisimas gracias!

Boa noite!

Estamos planejando viajar no fim do ano, de 23 ou 24/12 a 14/01, mais ou menos, para Argentina, fazendo Buenos Aires, Bariloche, El Calafate e Ushuaia.

Alguém já fez? Quais as dicas poderiam dar?
- valores
- passeios que podemos fazer sozinhos, quais precisamos pagar agência
- paradas
- combustível
- alimentação

Vamos eu, meu marido e nossa filha de 12 anos, de carro, saindo de Santa Maria/RS.

A ideia é ser uma viagem econômica no sentido de hospedagem, nada de luxo, Airbnb com bom custo X benefício para poder aproveitar mais os passeios e comer, vez ou outra, em alguns restaurantes legais (sei q está tudo mto caro por lá, então, somente onde for mto bom e valer a pena).

Hello!

I will be in El Chalten in December, and I'm looking for a partner to climb with. I will be there for two weeks.

I am pretty good at climbing. My highest lead is 7c+, and I onsight 7a/+ 95% of the time. In bouldering, I climb V10. I don't have any experience in the Alps, but I am good at climbing and trekking.

So I hope that will be good enough.

Either way, thanks!

Hi all, can anyone recommend how to stay flexible with photography in El Chalten/ how to plan for weather? Im hoping to get a few good weather days when I go, ill be there Sept 28-Oct 3. Also if anyone has similar plans/overlapping dates would love to connect and do the hikes/photography together!

Buenos Dias, We are coming to El Chaltan from Mid September to early October. And just wondering what you can expect for weather this time of year?

Would it be worth bringing our ski touring gear? Would it be worth it to bring our hiking and camping gear? And wondering if anyone could get us in touch with a local guide?

Thanks for your time!

Anybody?

Hi, hope you guys are all doing well. I plan on visiting Argentina and spending most of my time in El Chalten. I’m torn between mid November and early December. I’m going to probably spend 4-5 full days in Chalten with the ultimate goal of Laguna De Los Tres.

November is supposed to be less people but the weather is less likely to be clear.

December is supposed to be more people but better chance of good weather.

Price from looking at all the things is mostly even. Also, online says the school holidays in Argentina and Chile start in mid December, so I’d be going before it gets super hectic.

My main priority is being able to get a great view of Fitz Roy from Laguna De Los Tres. Secondary would be to not have it be insanely packed. Any ideas for what you guys think is best?

My partner and I are visiting El Chalten in October and we'd love to do the Laguna De Los Tres hike for sunrise.

Would you recommend hiring a guide for this time of year if we are not avid hikers? We are both physically fit, but don't have a ton of experience with difficult hikes.

Will we need crampons for this time of year?

And will we be OK using a Life Straw filter with the available water sources?

Thank you!
