Argentinian Patagonia's finest in El Chalten

Great hiking with our Australian friends! (see Eleonore's blog)

We are in the hiking mecca of Argentina! With the Fitz Roy range in the background

First small 'warm up' hike to the Mirador de las condors

The 6 kids are very happy to be reunited!

Movie night (the Goonies!) and dinner in our nice cabins

and that's the start of our big day hike to la Laguna de los tres, the best view point to Fitz Roy: 22 km for the day!

View on Piedras Blancas glacier

The whole group

Trying to drink from the river (water is so pure that you can drink safely from any river there)

We made it! after a 700 m elevation for the hike up

The kids have fun with the ice in the lake at the top

Ice cream treat as a reward for a very long day… and a new record of steps for the day for Apolline

The following day, short hike to Chorrillo del Salto

Last view on the Fitz Roy range from the bus back to El Calafate
