Before El Chaltén became one of Patagonia's most celebrated trekking destinations, Alberto del Castillo was already exploring these valleys and helping open routes that would become part of the region's mountaineering history.In 1995, he founded Fitz Roy Expediciones to share the mountains he had come to know through years of guiding and exploration.Today, more than thirty years later, we continue leading small groups across the Fitz Roy Massif, the Huemul Circuit and some of Patagonia's most remarkable mountain landscapes, following the same local knowledge and mountain philosophy that shaped our very first expeditions.
Based on hundreds of reviews from hikers who have explored Patagonia with our local guides.
For more than four decades we’ve explored these mountains season after season. The routes below are not simply our tours—they are the trails that shaped our story.
Campamento Poincenot is the traditional base camp for hikers and climbers exploring Laguna de los Tres and the Fitz Roy Massif in Los Glaciares National Park. Surrounded by native lenga forest at the foot of Mount Fitz Roy, it offers the unique opportunity to experience Patagonia after the day hikers have returned to El Chaltén.
From here, the final ascent to Laguna de los Tres begins before sunrise, allowing us to reach one of Patagonia’s most iconic viewpoints as the first light illuminates the granite peaks. During our guided treks, Fitz Roy Expediciones provides all camping equipment while our local guides take care of the logistics and safety throughout the journey.

Beyond the trails, Patagonia is a place shaped by history, weather, wildlife and the people who have called these mountains home for generations.
In this journal, we share stories from the field, practical mountain knowledge, local insights and the landscapes that continue to inspire every expedition.
