<\/a><\/p>\nWith the sun sheading its first rays of light on the tops of the mountains we made our way to the trailhead at the edge of town under clear blue skies. One of the things that makes El Chalt\u00e9n \u201cArgentinas Trekking Capital,\u201d is the trails all, basically, starts in town and everything, conceivably, could be done as day hikes. We were climbing up hill in no time; after grabbing a couple of empanadas on the way out-of-town of course. The climbers report promised, \u201cFriday will be perfect.\u201d So far so good.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long before I found a place I thought we could turn into a home. Liz insisted the tree wasn\u2019t big enough for the two of us, so we kept moving. Inspired by the towering peaks in front of us we made our\u00a0way closer and closer to camp.<\/p>\n Shortly we came across a trail sign and we new we were in the right place, Campamento de Agostini.\u00a0I\u2019m starting to think there may be a reason I feel so at home in Patagonia. Padre Alberto Mar\u00eda de Agostini was a missionary and explorer in Patagonia in the early 20th century. There is a bunch of stuff name after him down here and I saw a picture of him in a book at Pingo Salvaje<\/a>\u2026 Now I\u2019m sure of it, we must be related. \u00a0Padre Alberto Mar\u00eda de Agostini on the left, my dad on the right.<\/p>\n We made it to Campamento Poincenot around lunchtime, so we set up camp and ate a quick lunch then made our way on to the mirador for the Fitz Roy and Lagos de los Tres in the early afternoon. We had wanted to climb the peak right next to it but found out we had to register with the guardaparque to legally climb it, so, maybe another day. With that plan out the window, we had the rest of the afternoon to play around on the boulders around the mirador and just enjoy the views.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
