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.

The Simien Mountains National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. As a Guide-Operated Route, the landscape is characterized by a massive plateau formed by prehistoric volcanic activity, subsequently eroded into deep precipices, narrow ridges, and sheer drop-offs. The park is home to endemic species, including the Walia ibex and Gelada baboon. The trek culminates at Ras Dashen (4,550 meters). The region is known as the 'Roof of Africa' due to its extensive Afro-alpine moorlands. The final summit involves light scrambling and hand-use.
