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.

Quilotoa Loop and Emerald Lagoon. The Quilotoa Loop is a multi-day trek through the central Ecuadorian Andes, a Commonly Recognized Trek notable for its blend of high-altitude geography and indigenous culture. The journey typically spans 3-4 days through villages like Sigchos, Isinlivi, and Chugchilán, culminating at the water-filled Quilotoa caldera. The 3km-wide crater features a 250m-deep turquoise lagoon formed by a volcanic eruption 800 years ago. Hikers can choose between the full village-to-village 'Loop' or a 12km rim circuit.
