Our Travel Stories

One more day of itinerary that was planned for us, but this was a winner.

We got picked up by our guide Daniel from the hotel and he drove us to a remote corner of Argentine Lake.

We got on a catamaran and had a scenic ride for about 45 minutes to the other end of the lake.

Once there we hiked 1 mile to Lake Frías. Hike was not bad at all and had elevation gain of close to 100m.

At the lake we took a zodiac to get to the other end. About 15 minute drive.

Then another 2.5 mile hike to get to our destination.

On the way we also came across Calafate bush with some berries. This was not the season for them, so we were lucky to find them.

Also we came across a fossil.

We walked through land carved by glaciers.

Finally we reached a natural amphitheater created by glaciers Frías, Cubo and Dickson.

We had lunch at this beautiful spot.

We did get a little rain and the atmosphere was misty.

After our lunch, we retraced all our steps back.

We all got a toast of 10 year whiskey with 300 year old glacial ice.

Overall a wonderful day with only our guide and our group of 12 hikers. It was wonderful to get a way from all crowds and an easy hike.
