Operator's Itinerary
Day 1: Transfer to Los Huemules Reserve; Hike to Puesto Cagliero Refuge
In the morning, you'll take a transfer from El Chaltén to the Los Huemules Reserve.
You'll get straight on the trails for a stunning guided hike and if the weather permits—breathtaking views of the north face of Mount Fitz Roy. The route can be tailored to the type of hike you want but you'll likely ascend to Mirador del Diablo before heading back down and onward to Puesto Cagliero. This an authentic mountain hut with shared dorm-style bedrooms and views overlooking the Laguna Diablo with its dazzling hues of blue and green.
Dinner will be at the refuge - pancakes/crepes are their speciality!
Length of Hike: 11km roundtrip, 6 hours, undulating (moderate difficulty)
Meals: Box lunch, dinner
Accommodation: Puesto Cagliero Refuge
Day 2: Trek to Los Huemules Reserve Entrance; Transfer to El Chaltén
Enjoy breakfast at Puesto Cagliero and then you'll be guided on a hike back to the entrance of the reserve. You will pass the beautiful Lagunas Azul and Verde, and you will have the chance to stop and take photos.
The reserve is committed to wildlife conservation so look out for the torrent duck, the Magellanic woodpecker, condor, red fox and (possibly) the Huemul deer.
In the afternoon, you'll be picked up for a transfer back to El Chaltén.
Meals: Breakfast, box lunch
