We got up early (7am!) to get to the Condor lookout by sunrise at 830. It was below zero so we rugged up well. We needed our headlamps to guide us up the gentle gradient to the lookout.
Watching Mt Fitzroy the accompanying peaks slowly getting illuminated by the rising sun was spectacular. Made us realise what we had missed on our first day’s hike to Laguna de los Tres. We then walked to Mirador de las Aquilas – with a view of the lake and surrounding plaines.
We got the 1pm bus back to El Calafate after which we spent an hour or so walking around rhetoric town centre. The town was a bit bigger than we expected with a lot of outdoor equipment shops!
