Piedras Blancas Glacier Viewpoint
Mirador Glaciar Piedras Blancas
A hanging glacier pouring down the northeast slope of Fitz Roy, which you can view from a side viewpoint on the Three Lakes trail.
The Piedras Blancas Glacier spills down the northeast flank of Fitz Roy, with a glacial lake beneath its tongue. The classic way to see it is from the side viewpoint near Poincenot Campsite on the Three Lakes trail, or by looping around from Chorrillo del Salto via the Río Eléctrico valley route. Admission is free. The moraine in front of the glacier has many falling rocks, so do not approach the ice tongue. It can be combined with the Three Lakes trail or the Piedra del Fraile route.
