Photo Series #46: Landscape Photography | The Great Fitz Roy
Hello dear readers! How is your day? Entry to #landscapephotography and #mountainsmonday. The Great Fitz Roy.
My entry is the great Fitz Roy in Argentina.
In summer 2016 I did a 10.000 km hitchhiking trip around Patagônia and one of the places I've enjoyed the most was El Chaltén. I've spent 7 days on the mountains walking from trail to trail and camping in different locations to visit Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy.
Fitz Roy was once called Chaltén, in Tehuelche means "smoking mountain", as the original people from that region believed the mountain or peak was a volcano due to it's top being always covered by clouds.
It's pretty rare to see Fitz Roy without clouds but for those who are persistent and patiente everything is possible. First day at the Poincenot campsite it was cloudy, so my friend and I decided to stay there one more day to try again. Second day it was raining, many people left the campsite that day to go back to the city, but we were persistent. We've spent most of the day doing nothing but drinking wine and waiting. By the end of day the rain had stopped and the sky started to clear. I had left the woods to collect water on the river and "WOW", Fitz Roy was uncovered.
Third day we woke up at 4 in the morning to do the 1 hr uphill trail to see the old Fitz up close, it was freezing but what an amazing day!
The picture shows the Fitz Roy group, there are the 3 main peaks (the thin ones): Saint-Exupery, Poincenot and the highest of them all Fitz Roy, with 3375 meters.

This is so good! You should enter it for Saturday South American contest with @czechglobalhosts
Super! Sure will, I didn't know about that contest, thanks for the tip.
I love that contest. It is my very favorite!
So every day of the week there is a contest for each continent, so obviously you can submit your picture on the day of whichever continent your picture belongs to.
But is it required to make a post with the picture? Because many of my pictures I have posted before. I don't want to mess my timeline hhhhhaah
No! The only way to enter is to post the photo as a comment on his daily entry. If you have any other question, let me know as it is a bit confusing at first.
Ahá guess I found it! Just need to wait for next Saturday xD
thank you for showing me that, I'll sure ask if I get lost
