	Patagonia El Chaltén: Trekking Fitz Roy
		El Chalten is located in the Department of Lake Argentino, in the confluence of River Vueltas and River Fitz Roy in the area of Los Glaciares National Park.
		In this spot the magic of the glaciers combine with hidden lagoon, farms, Lake Viedma and the magnetic presence of Mount Fitz Roy.
		The Fitz Roy is one of the most impressive granite formations and one of the most beautiful peaks of the world.

		Fitz Roy was only twenty-three years of age, but the intense, young man distinguished himself where a much older man had failed.
		Fitz Roy removed four guns, added modern fittings and brought onboard twenty-two chronometers, each carefully packed in sawdust and five duplicates of another instrument, called the sympiesometer [Barlow 1967: 39].
		Fitz Roy decided instead to return to England with four remaining captives, who would be christianised and educated as much as was possible and then brought back to occupy the Cape as an outpost of British civilisation.

	Fitz Roy
		The legendary peaks of the Torre Mountain and the Fitz Roy Mountain stand out in the middle of the flat Patagonian steppe and attract numerous climbing expeditions from all over the world.
		From here, it is possible to admire the walls of this granite mountain that during many decades was considered "impossible to climb", until it was conquered for the first time by the expedition headed by Cesare Maestri in 1970.
		The Tehuelches, primitive inhabitants of the regions, venerated the Fitz Roy Mountain and named it "Chalten", which means "mountain that sends out smoke", since they believed it was a volcano, because its summit is always covered with a layer of clouds.

		Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre belong to the argentinian parc Los Glaciares, which includes the Perito Moreno.
		Nevertheless, the drive through the pampa from Calafate to El Chalten is amazing, because of the shape of the Fitz Roy, far away at the horizon [picture 2].
		One that definitely must be done goes to the Lago de los Tres [picture 1], right at the bottom of the Fitz Roy face.

	trekking in the Fitz Roy mountains
		The staggeringly perpendicular towers and peaks of the dramatic Fitz Roy massif provide a magnificent backdrop to what is universally acknowledged to be some of the best trekking in Argentina, if not Latin America as a whole.
		In spite of the proximity to some of the region’s highest peaks - Mount Fitz Roy punctures the skyline at 3445m - this is relatively low-altitude trekking, although bearing in mind that there can be up to six to eight hours walking over four consecutive days, a good level of fitness is required.
		Day 3: Today’s highlights will include a visit to the base camp where climbers intending to ascend Mount Fitz Roy wait for good weather, and the Laguna de Los Tres, from where there are spectacular views of granite and ice.
