Mount Fitz Roy (Cerro Fitz Roy)

The trek to Laguna de los Tres is one of the primary day activities in Los Glaciares National Park, providing a close-perspective view of the granite massif of Mount Fitz Roy (3,405m). The route follows an out-and-back trail through mixed forest and glaciated valleys, passing the Piedras Blancas viewpoint before the final ascent. The journey is defined by a significant transition from the low-lying valley floor to the high-alpine environment of the lagoon, which sits directly below the main peaks.

Originally two separate trails, they now form a single 134-mile (215km) National Trail offering two profoundly different landscapes. The first section, the 46-mile Peddars Way, follows a dead-straight ancient Roman road through the quiet, flat agricultural heartland and pine forests of Suffolk and Norfolk. Upon reaching the coast at Hunstanton, the trail abruptly turns east to become the Norfolk Coast Path. Here, it follows the starkly beautiful, flat coastline for 88 miles past vast salt marshes, golden sandy beaches, huge skies, and the sweeping low cliffs of Cromer. It is arguably the best trail in the UK for birdwatching and dramatic 'big sky' photography.
