El Chalten Trip

Discover why El Chalten is known as Patagonia's hiking capital when you take this trip to the "youngest town in Argentina".

El Chalten Trip

After collecting you in the morning from your hotel in El Calafate, we will head to El Chalten. Our itinerary begins by following the 'Ruta 40' road, which borders Argentino Lake and crosses over Santa Cruz River. During the drive through Patagonia's scenery, we will share experiences about Darwin and Fitz Roy in this area.

We will stop at the settlement of La Leona for a break, where you can enjoy coffee and traditional homemade pastry (not included). We will then continue along the shorelines of Viedma Lake appreciating the landscapes of the Torre and Fitz Roy mountain ranges.

Upon reaching El Chalten, you can visit the town's Interpretation Centre before continuing by minibus to an Operational Base. Here, you'll have free time for a hike at your leisure, guided by a map of the different trails. A picnic will be provided, including two ham and cheese sandwiches, a piece of fruit, a sweet treat, and a bottle of water.

After enjoying your time in these surroundings, we will regroup to begin our return journey to Calafate, where you'll be dropped off.
