Glacier on the Way to Fitz Roy

Highlight • Natural Monument

From here you have a beautiful view of the glacier. It's located on a road that leads to Fitz Roy. If you want to go to the lagoon, you must take the other road at the fork.

Poincenot Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

The tents are pitched, well sealed, facing upwind, as it can get very cold when the wind blows. It's also a place where you can clearly hear all the sounds of nature, from the whisper of the wind to the rustling of the surrounding wilderness.

View of Laguna Madre y Hija

Highlight • Viewpoint

Even if you have to concentrate on the ascent and the gusts of wind, you shouldn't fail to turn down into the valley to enjoy the wonderful view of the two positions.
