Mirador Laguna Capri is a jewel of the Los Glaciares National Park, situated just a few hours' hike from El Chaltén. Known for its crystal-clear waters that often mirror the jagged peaks of Mount Fitz Roy, it provides one of the most rewarding views in the region without the extreme difficulty of higher climbs. The trail features a steady incline through beautiful forests filled with seasonal flowers, leading to a tranquil shoreline. Visitors often use the lagoon as a resting point on the way to the more challenging Laguna de los Tres or as a primary destination for a peaceful picnic. Whether you're there to catch the first orange glow of sunrise on the granite towers or to enjoy the nearby waterfall, it offers a quintessential Patagonian landscape.
Mirador Laguna Capri is highly regarded by visitors as an essential stop on the trek toward Mount Fitz Roy in El Chaltén. Reviewers frequently mention the spectacular reflections of the mountain on the lagoon's surface, particularly on clear, calm days. The hike is described as having a steady incline with well-maintained paths, typically taking between two and three hours to complete. Many hikers recommend it as a prime location for sunrise photography, noting the vibrant orange hues that hit the peaks. While some suggest it is just a prelude to the more dramatic Laguna de los Tres, others appreciate it as a peaceful destination in its own right for picnicking or resting. The presence of wildflowers and a nearby waterfall adds to the area's natural charm.
