Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Capri Hike

Route Description for Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Capri Hike

In terms of pristine alpine terrain and stunning glacier views, there aren’t many places on earth that come close to Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, and the Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Capri Hike are filled with both. This iconic Patagonian adventure will be sure to get your heartrate up, from both the breathtaking views and the difficulty of the trail!

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way northwest through the light tree cover and open terrain. This initial portion of the trail does feature a decent incline, so be sure to take your time and acclimate to the difficulty.

Passing through some more forested terrain, you will pass by the Mirador Fitz Roy and enjoy beautifully scenic views of the mountains, before passing by the shores of Laguna Capri. Here, you will continue hiking to the northwest along a route that runs parallel to a stream known as Chorillo del Salto.

Eventually, you will cross over the stream and pass through the Poincenot and Río Blanco campgrounds. At this point the trail will turn more directly west, climbing sharply uphill in order to reach the shimmering waters of Laguna de los Tres.

Take some time here to rest up and appreciate the gorgeous mountain, glacier, and lakeside views, before setting out on the return leg of your journey. Carefully head downhill and retrace your steps along the same route in order to arrive back at the trailhead where you started the Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Capri Hike.
