GENERAL DESCRIPTION
El Chaltén, the hiking capital of Argentina, is a village within the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina’s Santa Cruz province. It is still a small town that is best known for being the gateway to Mt. Fitz Roy and Cerro Torres, two of the most rugged and impressive peaks in the Patagonian Andes.
FABIO'S REVIEW
El Chalten is only 3 hours’ drive from El Calafate (so just a stone's throw away, for Patagonian standards). It offers trekking opportunties in quiet snowy mountains, with landscapes similar to the Alps.
