I want to personally thank you for the well planned out trip to Argentina. Everything was well orchestrated and went without a hitch. Every tour guide, driver, and coordinator that we met at each location was extremely professional and personable. All this allowed for a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation. We could not have had such a great time without your company's expertise.

#5: THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
The indigenous word Chalten refers to the famous mountain at whose base it rests: Mount Fitz Roy in English. This tiny town was founded very recently, in 1985, designed to avoid neighboring Chile’s successful claim to the territory, and has since become a must-visit for trekkers and mountain climbers seeking to explore its spectacular surroundings.
The town itself virtually exists because of the constant influx of keen mountaineers that flock to the region in search of adrenaline inducing challenges. Thanks to this steady flow of visitors from throughout the world the town has a variety of lodging options, restaurants and other such entertainment, yet still retains its rough-around-the-edges feel.
Easily accessible from this “National Trekking Capital” – a title the village often receives due to its unmatched proximity to spectacular glacier terrain used by tourists for camping, horseback riding, and much more – is the town of Calafate. Charming and boasting an interesting history, as well as all the necessary facilities you will need, it provides another option for comfortable and quality lodging during your Patagonia vacation
Accompanying you on this trip of a lifetime, Argentina For Less offers the very best in guided tours, excursions and hotel accommodations, suited for all travel requirements and catering for every budget.
A thrilling visit to this ruggedly beautiful territory is made effortless with Argentina For Less. We are proud to offer everything you need to build magical memories that will last forever.
* Due to its abundance of excellent trails, El Chalten is known as the Trekking Capital of Argentina, and ranks as one of the best mountain climbing destinations in the world.
* Towering at 11,168 ft (3,405m), Mount Fitzroy is often partially obscured by cloud, which the indigenous locals confused with smoke. Hence, the name chalten in the local Tehuelche language translates to Smoking Mountain, or volcano.
* The Andean Condor, with a wingspan of nearly 10 feet (3 m), can be spotted gliding gracefully over the many valleys of the region. The countless high craggy peaks found in the mountains provide ideal condor nesting sites.
