El Chalten - Hike to Lago Del la Tres

El Chalten is the Gore Tex capital of South America, on the border with chile, it's surrounded by stunning mountains and is the home to all things hiking and outdoorsy. The sentinal standing watch over the valley is the imposing mount Fitz Roy. Day one we decided to hike to Lago Del la Tres, followed by the ascent to the base of mount Fitz Roy, the peak of which stands at 2050m. The hike was a lazy 25km round trip, with a 750 metre ascent. On paper, a walk in the park for two fitness gurus. In reality, far from anything close to easy, the last 400 meters took more than an hour

Made it, with nothing left.
