Argentina / Latin America

Trekking through Parque Nacional Los Glaciares

23 January 2015

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant

Last Updated on 23 May 2025

After our amazing experience in Torres del Paine, Aristo and I are both very eager to head back out for more trekking–this time, on the Argentinian side of Patagonia. We spend one well-deserved rest day at a nice hostel, taking hours-long hot showers and washing our dirt/sweat stained clothes, before we are off again on another bus.

First we travel to El Calafate and spend a few days preparing ourselves before booking a bus to El Chalten. After the usual routine of wandering hostel to hostel, trying to find an available and reasonably priced room, we end up in a dorm room, which appears to be all but booked out to a group of no less than 40 Israelis, just returned from their conscription and eager to cause as much of a raucous as possible. No where else in the world, probably not even in Israel, will you find as many Israelis as in Patagonia. I can’t explain it. We have met some really nice people, but the majority of the 10+ person groups have an attitude like β€œI’m a trained combat soldier, you will use the bathroom when I say you can use the bathroom”. It is tiresome.

We had originally tried to rent camping equipment from El Calafate, foolishly assuming that a larger town would have more selection and lower prices. The result was four hours of aimless wandering and very empty hands. Luckily, as it was our last hope, El Chalten had a couple shops and surprisingly lower prices (though, still shocking– it’s Argentina). It literally costs us more to rent gear and camp for two nights at free campsites than it cost to stay in the dorm bed, but at least there aren’t a dozen other travellers inside the tent with us.



First, we hike out towards Laguna de los Tres, with plans to camp at Poincenot. Compared to Torres del Paine, the hike is short and sweet, not to mention well-marked. The downside is that our packs are massively heavier, due to a poorer quality of rented camping gear, and seem to have lost the efficient streamlining we worked so hard to perfect in Chile.

Everything is bigger and heavier and causes our packs to hang off our backs like a potato sack. On top of this, I’ve still got my pegleg going on, as my knee has only declined in recent days and we start to notice my right leg stepping forward while my left leg steps out and around like the breastroke. I don’t just look ridiculous, I’m definitely not feeling so hot either. The short 10km to camp feel like a lifetime and I can’t finish the extra couple kms to the mirador until morning.



It’s impossible not to make comparisons between Los Glaciares and Torres del Paine. In many ways, the Argentinian side is better, boasting nearly empty campgrounds, all free, and well-signed trails. However, I just can’t help but miss Chile. The scenary of both parks is incredible, so maybe it’s just the atmosphere of all the hikers struggling together to complete the same strenuous W that makes it so fun. The price of gear in Argentina is also about triple or quadruple the price in Chile, which does not help.

Our second morning, we wake up late and trek up a very steep mountainside for about an hour to reach the Laguna de los Tres, which sits right in front of Fitz Roy, the most famous peak in the area. Due to some annoying clouds, the points of the mountain are obscured, but the view is still stunning.



All yesterday, we had increasinly closer views of the snow-covered Monte Fitz Roy and it is even more spectacular up close. Quite a bit of time is spent sitting under a rock (shelter from the wind) staring at the mountain before we turn and trek back down, finally giving up on the clouds clearing to expose the pinnacles.

We have another short day, around 10km, to reach the next camp at Laguna Torre. It is, yet again, filled with glorious mountain views and it’s difficult to peel our eyes away long enough to take a step. The old knee is in foul form today and the last few kms of the trek are peppered with yelps and wimpers as we decend downhill on loose rock that is most determined to be anywhere but safely underfoot. We reach another sparcely-populated, riverfront campsite and settle in for the night. Probably contributing to the weight of the packs is the laptop Aristo has packed along, but it makes for a very fun movie-dinner in the tent. We watch The Usual Suspects and I fall asleep thinking that my limp has made me look just like Kevin Spacey when I hike.

We summit a few hills in the morning, craning to get better views of the mountains, before packing up and booking it back to town. We have a morning bus to catch from the station and we’ve overslept, yet again, so there is definite urgency. Luckily, it’s only a short two-hour jaunt back to town. We return the camping gear and treat ourselves to a second breakfast of empanadas from the bakery. Before we know it, we are back on a bus to El Calafate, bidding Monte Fitz Roy goodbye.

Hey, I'm Brooke and I'm obsessed with getting off the beaten path, exploring backcountry gems & travelling beyond the ordinary! I left Australia 5 years ago after finishing a PhD in Biomechanics & have been travelling the world full-time ever since (joined by my life/climbing partner, James). Whether it’s road-tripping through Mexico, climbing alpine peaks in the Andes, scuba diving in the Red Sea, or tackling epic via ferrata in the Dolomites, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

    Hello,
    Thanks for sharing your experience it’s very usefull. I was wondering if this trek had a name or is it just one you created on the go?

      Hey Elise, thanks for reading! This is a post I need to go back and update since I just did the trek again this year (and will also be taking a group trip there in a few months!)

      It doesn’t really have a name, but most people would call it “Fitzroy Loop” and that would be understood since it’s becoming more popular.

      Happy trails!

  • DOHA, QATAR πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued β€œLittle Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

  • Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves πŸ’ƒπŸ»

  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) β†’ Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program πŸ˜…)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?

  • Cut by the bright turquoise Gokase River, this magical little gorge in central Kyushu is often called the most beautiful place in Japanβ€” and we might just agree!! πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅πŸŒΈβœ¨

πŸ“ Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki Prefecture

TIPS FOR VISITING:
- the site is open 8am-5pm
- entry is Β₯1,000 per person + parking is available nearby
- reserve a row boat (30min) for Β₯4,000 on weekdays or Β₯5,000 on weeekends (boats do sell out!)
- the best light is after 10.30am, when sun hits the waterfall
- free paths run along both sides of the gorge, so you can enjoy great views even if you don’t hire a boat

πŸ‘‡πŸ» If you’ve been to Japan, what’s the most beautiful place in your opinion? (tell me in the comments so I can save for our next Japan trip πŸ˜…)
  • things in Japan that just make sense: it’s gotta be the free footbaths, for me!! 

πŸ“ Sakurajima Nagisa Foot Bath Park in Kagoshima, Japan

road-tripping through Kyushu on a rainy day in May, we pulled over at these baths near the active Sakurajima volcano and couldn’t believe the view. these are one of the longest footbaths in Japan, with more than 100m of naturally-heated water from deep underground, and amazingly it’s completely FREE to visit!

  • Welcome to the Beppu Hells πŸ”₯

Beppu is one of Japan’s most famous onsen towns, known for its Hells (Jigoku), a collection of dramatic hot spring pools that are way too hot for bathing but incredible to look at!

There are 7 main β€œhells”, each with its own character:
- Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell): a steaming cobalt blue pool and a gorgeous foot bath (one of the only places the water is hot but safe)
- Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk’s Head Hell): bubbling grey mud pools
- Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell): milky turquoise pond surrounded by gardens
- Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Pot Hell): multi-coloured pools + steam vents, plus you can buy volcanic steam-cooked eggs and buns (believed to have health benefits, but also a super fun novelty snack)
- Oniyama Jigoku (Demon Mountain Hell): home to 70+ crocodiles (!)
- Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell): deep red iron-rich pool
- Tatsumaki Jigoku (Spout Hell): powerful geyser erupting every 30–40min

TIPS FOR VISITING
πŸ’΄ Entry: Β₯2,200 for a combo ticket (all 7 hells)
⏱️ Timing: allow 2–3hrs to explore
πŸš— Getting around: you can easily walk between the hells, but since it was raining, we drove our little hire car
β˜”οΈ When to visit: open year-round; fun even on rainy days!

  • postcards from magical little Miyajima 🌸✨

this island is located about an hour from Hiroshima & is a fantastic day tripβ€” but even better as a relaxing overnighter. 

visit the iconic red Torii Gate, take the scenic ropeway to Mt Misen’s Peak, feed the free-roaming deer, sample the island’s many oyster treats, see the 5-story pagoda Taho-to, and cap it all off with a traditional stay at Kikunoya. slow-paced bliss ✨

DOHA, QATAR πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued β€œLittle Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves πŸ’ƒπŸ»

welcome to Qatar πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨ One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha! Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, and the city feels welcoming, approachable & surprisingly easy to explore. HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest PLACE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO πŸ“Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos πŸ“Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building πŸ“Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) πŸ“Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon πŸ“Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen! πŸ“Qanat Quartier: a quirky β€œLittle Venice” with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here πŸ“Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafΓ©s . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar

Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) β†’ Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program πŸ˜…)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?
