One of the best experiences you can have. 100% recommended. We had never camped before, and the team provided us with every comfort and support from the moment we arrived in El Chaltén. Leandro in the office and Nacho at the campsite were always willing to answer questions, make suggestions, and transform this challenge into something truly unforgettable. Thank you ❤️

The Fitz Camp experience is highly recommended. Everything was excellent, from the quality and patience with which they explained every detail to us in the office when we went to ask before going up, to the exceptional way Agus welcomed us at the top and was attentive to everything. He was an excellent host and a pleasure to share with someone who connects so deeply with the place.

The place is beautiful, comfortable, and offers the chance to watch the sunrise over Laguna de los Tres. It has a small beach with an incredible view. Dinner is delicious and plentiful, with a glass of wine and dessert included. What disappointed us was missing breakfast because the hours they serve it are very limited, meaning we would have had to arrive and fly back after sunrise. Since the nightly rate is quite high and they advertise breakfast upon return, our suggestion is that they at least have a packed lunch waiting for us, which didn't happen, considering we had the entire return trip ahead of us. Mildred's service was excellent. Nevertheless, spending the night in this place is a wonderful experience.
