Falling in Love with Mt. Fitz Roy in Patagonia

One experience you will not hear me talk about enough is Fitz Roy, the rugged and snow covered mountains in the Southern Patagonia Ice-Fields. I mean, this is the ultimate adventurers playground and I’ve been dreaming about going back and I was only there three months ago. Sometimes we build a place in our mind to be exceptional before ever seeing it in person, I mean first of all, making it to Patagonia has been a dream of mine for over a decade and that fact that I journeyed to El Chalten to hike to Fitz Roy was an incredible experience. It’s only inspired me to take up climbing…snow climbing so I can return and actually climb up to the towers.

For your convenience, I put together a really extensive guide to traveling to El Chalten, which is the town that sits beneath the jagged mountain. I can’t imagine anyone having a bad experience there even with bad weather so I highly recommend everyone to put a hike to Fitz Roy on the top of their travel bucket list for 2015. I hope you find the information useful and enjoy the photos below!
