THE MOST BREATHTAKING PLACE IN ARGENTINA - MOUNT FITZROY & LAGUNA DE LOS TRES PATAGONIA HIKE

THE MOST BREATHTAKING PLACE IN ARGENTINA - MOUNT FITZROY & LAGUNA DE LOS TRES PATAGONIA HIKE
In this video we spend our first day in the famous little Argentina town of El Chalten, we waste no time heading out on one of the most famous hikes in Patagonia, the very long and very steep climb to the base of mount Fitzroy. Along the way we encountered every type of Patagonian weather imaginable which was an adventure in itself. The views along this hike are of course incredible and although we set off early from our accommodation we still didn’t make it up and down before dark (filming takes a while and also the sunset is earlier at this time of year) totally worth it though.
It is without doubt one of the most breathtaking places we have ever set our eyes on, we really hope once again that our footage can go some way to demonstrate this to you all and hopefully inspire some of you to take on this hike, it’s been our favorite so far in Patagonia and if you’ve been watching our Argentina series you’ll know we have done a few!
We make it to the base of mount Fitzroy and Lago de Los Tres and despite the cloud that often hugs Fitzroy the whole place was dramatic and felt almost unearthly. Another moment in Argentina where the views are so incredible you have to keep staring to convince yourself that it’s real.
After the toughest bit of the climb not only were we rewarded with the views but a perfectly timed fly by from a Condor, it flew straight past us and in fact it was slightly below us so we had a perfect view of it’s wingspan and cool markings on it’s back… you know you have climbed high when a Condor flies below you!
Upcoming Videos!
Join us next time as we leave El Chalten on one of our craziest and longest bus journeys we have ever experienced. This route is not easy but after days of traveling we finally made it to our next stop in Argentina, the town of Bariloche!

[@DavidandSarah]

Wow this place is incredible!! Thank you for showing us around these beautiful gems 😍

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, we’re glad you like it ☺️ It is a piece of Patagonia that will stay with us forever especially seeing a condor fly right next to us near the top! 🤩

[@georginiuss]

Amazing video, you seem lovely people. Patagonia is incredible! I had the understood that flying drones there is not allowed! The images are spectacular but if that is the case, please respect the laws. they exist to protect the national park. Cheers. !!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Wow wow wow!! This scenery is incredible, especially at the end of the hike and the waterfall and mountain views. Definitely seemed a bit challenging and like hikers need some real hiking gear but you seemed prepared for it. Love me a hiking stick 🙌

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Never needed a hiking stick so much before 😄 it was super challenging but so rewarding, that moment coming over the ridge will stay with us forever it was incredible!

[@danielavila_arg]

Hermoso video chicos, vistas espectaculares, me alegro mucho que disfruten de las bellezas naturales de mi pais, y me encanta la naturalidad con que se expresan y disfrutan la vida.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Muchas gracias. Estamos disfrutando mucho explorando Argentina, los paisajes son increíbles y tan diversos, no podemos creer que haya tanta variedad en un solo país, ¡es hermoso!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Congratulations on 5K subs 🥳🥳 The views and landscapes you guys have seen over the course of this series is unreal! That last km of the hike 😳😳😳🤢😅 Love your drone shots overlooking the 2 lakes….it’s so beautiful, I can’t believe it’s real 🥹🥰 we’d also spend an hour up there soaking it all in 🤗

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We still can’t believe the scenery we have seen and how much it changes from here, the North is also incredible but completely different!

[@juancabral3374]

Excellent image quality! What a lovely couple you are!!!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much, we’re glad you enjoyed the video ☺️

[@the0new0shadow]

Great work! Keep it up :)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you ☺️

[@mariaalonso6010]

Hey, greetings from an Argentinian living in Spain. Love watching your videos from my country, makes my feel at home and as you, I did have the fortune to almost covered it all. Have to say that I did Mount Fitz Roy trail myself and you are totally right, there's no way that the last part of the track it's just 1 km. Hope you managed to visit Mendoza, for me, the best "provincia" in the country. Cheers and all the best!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, we’re glad to know our videos bring you happiness ☺️ it is definitely a long upward slog for the last bit of the trail! 😅 yes we made it to Mendoza (just started sharing our adventures there on Instagram) videos will be on here soon!

[@hernanvega1993]

Por que provincia entre comillas?

[@danieldanielrobledo]

son unos genios. Abrazo enorme a los dos.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@carolinaak5162]

Thank you so much for all your videos!🙏 I m planning to travel to Argentina in two months and I’m using all your i fomation to prepare my itinerary. All the best 🙏🙏

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We're so glad to be able to help you plan your travels. Have the best time, it really is incredible!

[@nadialeiva1064]

Amazing video, guys! I’m so glad you enjoyed that view so much. Greetings from your new subscriber from Argentina that is now watching every single video of yours in a row lol 😁 Keep the good work! ☺️

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment and welcome to our channel, we have so many adventures coming up in Argentina!🇦🇷☺️

Holaa !! Chicos que lugar increíble!! ☺ 🌺🌺🌷

[@TideKnotTravellers]

hola, sí absolutamente increíble! Todavía no podemos creer que lo vimos con nuestros propios ojos 🤩

[@fabianllano9200]

I love your videos!! Im glad you have a good time in my country

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much, we have loved travelling Argentina!

[@hemilserodriguez4387]

Wow! Great video! Thank you so much 💙

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, we’re pleased you like it ☺️

[@deirdrespectrum2717]

We had the best day ever at Mirador Fitzroy without any cloud. How lucky were we.!! Thinking of you two and all your great advice!!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Wow you really had to work for those views, but I would say it’s worth it! The double lagoon view is just stunning! How incredible! Great find guys!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was the hardest hike we’ve ever done but that was down to the length and difficulty combined with the crazy weather we had right during the toughest part 😅

[@TravelInteresante]

The excitement in your eyes was so real and candid, I would love to get to visit one day as well, the views are incredible and although you climbed a lot, it was definitely all worth it! Haha yeah probably enough to go just once, it didn't seem too easy! The drone shots are AMAZING!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It is a place we will never forget, still can’t believe we were there and saw a condor too. That hike is tough, if I had to do it again I’d camp in the camping area and do it over 2 days to have more time soaking in the view, it’s just stunning!

[@horacioredigonda5949]

Un videazo chicos , un lugar increible

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Gracias, es difícil hacerle justicia a este lugar, ya que es tan hermoso, pero esperamos que este video muestre a las personas lo suficiente como para disfrutarlo y tal vez planear una caminata. 😊

[@stephenwarren9762]

Congratulations on reaching the summit on the hike. That looked quite a treck. Wonderful countryside in patagonia.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you it was long but so worth it ☺️

[@eribertoorbase6380]

Thank you for this video. Just subscribed. I think this is the sign that I’m waiting for to visit Patagonia next year! Claiming it!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It is incredible! The only thing we’d change about our visit is to have longer. Welcome to our channel ☺️ hope it’s helpful for planning an incredible adventure!

[@relaxingsilentfilms-LosAngeles]

hope you get more subs and views.. I was able to visit El Chalten in November 2023.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed your time in El Chalten, it's such a special little place tucked beneath the mountains!

[@relaxingsilentfilms-LosAngeles]

@@TideKnotTravellers it was a charming town. I was able to also able to capture Perito Moreno and quick visit to Bariloche at the Llao Llao. Argentina is a beautiful country.

[@damianhernancarrizo152]

Que bueno que les gustó ése lugar increíble, tenia entendido que no se podía usar drones dentro del parque nacional!

[@Explorcation]

Hey guys, Laguna De Los Tres is gorgeous 😍 That is quite a challenging day! And how tricky that the last km...really isn't a km 🤔😆 Yaay for the peak making an appearance 🙌 Oh my the views are epic!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

After we did the hike I read a few reviews saying the last section is way more than a km, for us it was the rain & flies combo with the incline at the end that got us! 😅 Totally worth it though, we we’re actually speechless when we first arrived over the ridge 😍

[@Explorcation]

@@TideKnotTravellers what an adventure to remember!!!

[@FDX22]

Excelente vídeo

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Gracias ☺️

[@galapagoff1]

Awesome job. Loved every minute of it. My wife & I will be doing it around Dec21/2023, hopefully (as we are 70). What month did you climb it?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We climbed it in March. It is a long one so set off as early as you can, some people do it across 2 days and camp at the campground we walked through in the video.

[@oldbutbeautiful]

While Fitzroy is certainly considered one of hardest peaks for Mountaineers, I'm curious as to how you've never mentioned the Peak that lies only 4km from Fitzroy, and got many years was called the hardest peak in the world - that is Cerro Torre - sheer rock face of 10,000 feet with a mushroom of rime ice on its apex Check it out - it's STUNNING

[@lalolandalanda8317]

Increible!!! thank you gays for share this =)) I had never seen that place filmed like that. How long did they walk to that lake?

[@user-wm2rn8zo7e]

You are very nice people ❤😊

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@carlosgabrielli3928]

I imagine that this video was in summer, because in this moment the weather is extremely cold !Greeting from Bahia Blanca, Argentina !!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes this was filmed a few months ago. Can imagine it will look quite different right now 🥶

[@s1u8n]

amazing hike. I thought drones were not allowed?

[@vitorandrejp]

Great trail, and spectacular footage! A question though, what season (and month) did you do it? Cheers from Brazil!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you! We did this in March last year.

[@waynehiggs6639]

Most stunning amazing place? have you not been to Hemel Hempstead 😆. Jake left on Monday to start he's two year working visa in Canada, hopefully some more amazing adventures to come x

[@TideKnotTravellers]

🤣🤣 oh the beauty of HH! Hope he has a great time in Canada!

[@bettyli6635]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I will be in El Chalten for almost a week and hope to complete this hike. I'm curious as to what time you started? And what time did you finish? All the videos I've watched so far say to start before sunrise. I even bought a headlamp specifically for this hike.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

If you have a week it might be nice to camp at one of the two campsites along the hike (we walk through them in the video) many people do that to break the hike up and enjoy the nature longer and yes then it’s a great idea to get up early and head up there. We left our accommodation at 8am but it took us a while to puck up food and walk to the start of the trail so we started around 9.30am from the trail start sign (shown as Kirsty walks under the sign at the start) it takes us longer due to filming on the way up and we spent around 1.5 hours at the top. We left around 4pm to head back down and it took us around 4.5 hours so we were in darkness for the last hour and needed our head torches 🔦 there are restaurants as soon as you finish the hike which are a very welcome sight 😅

[@bettyli6635]

@@TideKnotTravellers I can't wait to do this. I also think I'm luck in that the sunset difference is a few hours too! Camping one night would be awesome too. I'd have to look into renting some equipment but would probably do the one day trek. I saw somewhere that you can "cheat" and take a taxi to another starting point to remove a few kilometers from the hike.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

@@bettyli6635 Yes if you are going at a time of year with longer daylight hours then you’ll be fine. We enjoyed walking back even though it got dark we heard more wildlife then which was exciting. Yes you can get a taxi to cut out the first bit but then you miss the beautiful views overlooking El Chalten. It’s a good option though if short on time. You can rent camping equipment in lots of places in the town, many do it and there are signs everywhere for camping rental equipment.

[@osvaldolopez6109]

can you take a dip in the lake ?

[@drakethompson5585]

What time of year did you go? Looks like you’re not that cold so I was curious

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We were there at the very end of March so just before it starts getting cold and the hiking routes get closed off.

[@gbrdhvndi]

I can't quite figure out the weather over there. Isn't it supposed to be winter in the Southern hemisphere?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes we are further up than this now, this was filmed a while ago, it is much colder now in El Chalten 🥶

[@pabloe.2789]

Dont you have this kind of landscapes in the UK?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

The UK has some beautiful landscapes and mountains but nothing as dramatic and vast as Patagonia.

[@QuickFlickFixOfficial]

What month did you do this in?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We did this hike in March last year

[@masaksenja]

Any plans on going to Torres Del Paine or are you skipping it?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We tried so hard to get to Torres del Paine but during our time in EC the land border to Chile was still closed, everyone was gutted and some were taking some long convoluted routes to get there which we considered but it would have added days of travel. Chile were still being quite strict/difficult about letting people in. Now it has opened so you should be ok.

[@danieldanielrobledo]

Hola. Sabían que en Argentina existe un pueblo llamado Londres (London)?. Se cultivan nueces (nuts) y es la capital nacional del poncho, aunque son un poco caros (expensives), unas 200 pounds. Les dejo el enlace de un video hecho por Nacho Z, un joven argentino que vive en London, U.K. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKrPm42Be7yDoKc. Abrazo a ambos y a seguir disfrutando¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@TideKnotTravellers]

gracias, no teníamos idea de que había un lugar llamado Londres. Sin embargo, recientemente compramos un bonito poncho (¡afortunadamente uno más económico!) 😅

[@sergiovalens]

Thanks for Another great video!! Can't wait to watch the next one in Bariloche. I used to spend a lot of summer vacations there as a child.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you. It’s a beautiful place and we had to try really hard to get there 😅 but we’re glad we made it!

[@sergiovalens]

@@TideKnotTravellers Patagonia is HUGE and almost unpopulated

[@TideKnotTravellers]

@@sergiovalens yeah, there are vast distances of just open space, it’s so different for us to see this kind of landscape!
