ARGENTINA: Mount Fitz Roy, El Chalten, Patagonia 2020 & 2005

Refugio Piedra del Fraile, Rio Electrico Valley. El Chalten, Argentina, South America.

Refugio Piedra del Fraile, Rio Electrico Valley. El Chalten, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, Patagonia, South America. Hike the scenic Rio Electrico Valley to Refugio Piedra del Fraile ("Stone of the Friar", 14.5 km round trip). From the refuge, a rewarding day hike visits Lago Pollone (8.5 km round trip with 320 m gain) beneath towering Cerro Fitz Roy and Aguja Pollone. Another path from the refuge ascends very steeply to Paso Quadrado (gaining 1340 m vertically in 8.4 km round trip) for a spectacular view south to Guillaumet, Mermoz, Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, and Aguja Pollone (left to right). The last kilometer climbs up steep snow which could require crampons if icy. Views keep improving the higher you go.
