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.

Set high on a dramatic mountain crest overlooking the Urubamba River, the ruins of Pisac form one of the most significant and sweeping Inca complexes in Peru's Sacred Valley. While most tour groups quickly drive up to the top and leave, hikers can embark on a magnificent half-day route connecting the various historical settlements—military fortresses, temples, and sprawling agricultural terraces. The classic hike involves exploring the upper ruins before making the steep, scenic 2-hour foot descent down ancient Incan staircases directly into the bustling artisan market of Pisac town below.
