Fitz Roy Cascades

A pair of Fitz Roy Cascades at Laguna de Los Tres


The Fitz Roy Cascades are what I'm calling these series of mountain cascades sprinkled beneath the imposing Fitz Roy Mountains. There are actually countless lacy mountain cascades like these, but this page pertains to those we've spotted at the end of the difficult 8- to 10-hour Laguna de Los Tres hike. These cascades are directly fed by snow and glacier melt and hence their flow will vary depending on the degree of such melt, which are probably at their best during the early summer season (December and January).

While Sendero Laguna de Los Tres (Lagoon of the 3 Trail) is meant to get close to the Fitz Roy peaks of Cerro Fitz Roy, Cerro Poincenot, and others, these cascades are really a bonus to the hike and should be treated as such.
