Transportation was easy to find. We got two packed lunches with plenty of food and dropped off at Rio Eléctrico which is a huge advantage because you save yourself an uphill climb from el chalten. Previous reviews made me nervous about finding the trails so I downloaded the trail on All Trails which is accurate. We had perfect weather so we would have been fine without the trail downloaded. Sometimes the trail branches but it all comes back together anyways. To find the camp, the guide explained what sign to look for so make sure you understand that! The host at the camp was so sweet and accommodating. He made us a three course dinner with a glass of wine, booted up his wifi connection to check the weather for us, and also made us breakfast with hot coffee. We went up the Fitz Roy/Laguna de los Tres on the first day because of the weather forecast. So Day 2 for us was a late morning start and a an easy steady hike to see Cerro Torre and make it back to El Chalten by 4:30. Overall it was exactly what we wanted!
