El Chaltén

Located only 220 km away from el Calafate, it is considered to be the National Capital of Trekking. Its name comes from Tehuelche language and it means “smoking volcano or mountain” in clear reference to the permanent clouds over Mount Fitz Roy peak.
This is a Mecca for famous trekers, El Chalten is widely known for having two of the most difficult hills to approach: Mount Fitz Roy & Cerro Torre.

Whether you decide to cross the Lago del Desierto Lake on a catamaran, follow dreamy trails in the trekking Mecca, or climb to the peak of the Huemul Glacier, the limitless natural wonders in this mountain village will surprise you. (@visitargentina)
