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.

While the Lycian and Carian trails hug the coast, the St. Paul Trail heads directly inland, plunging straight up into the strenuous, magnificent limestone peaks of the Taurus Mountains. Stretching 500 kilometers from the ancient Roman ruins of Perge (near Antalya) all the way north to Yalvaç near Lake Eğirdir, the route roughly follows the missionary path of St. Paul the Apostle. It is arguably Turkey’s wildest long-distance trail. Hikers are immediately confronted with severe elevation gains, navigating staggering river canyons (like Köprülü), dense pine and cedar forests, and remote, traditional stone-house villages built into the mountain sides. You will walk on the absolute best-preserved ancient Roman roads in the world, some perfectly paved for miles into the wilderness.
