El Chalten: The Trekking Capital

El Chalten (3 days / 2 nights) - From $486 €322 £245

The small town of El Chaltén gets its name from the indigenous name for the famous mountain at whose foot it sits, Mt Fitz Roy. It was founded very recently, in 1985, in an effort to prevent Chile from laying claim to the territory, and has since become a mecca for trekkers and mountain climbers seeking to explore its stunning surroundings. The town’s primary attraction remains the surrounding Los Glaciares National Park, and there is a palpable spirit of adventure which hangs in the air as the many expectant adventure seekers gather nightly in its several cozy bars and restaurants to prepare for their coming excursions. The town itself has little to offer in the way of amenities however, as it primarily caters to rugged, adventurous travelers who have more interest in camping than staying in luxury hotels, but this is changing as its growing popularity is slowly reversing this trend, and a number of good restaurants are now available, with some new hotels on the way.
