El Chalten Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Arrived in El Calafate for a day spent doing nothing and caught a bus to El Chalten, the hiking capital of Argentina the next day for an overnight stay. Set up at the worst hostel ever where they charge you for toilet paper. Went on a 3 hour trek though light rain and mist and through some scary woods to a waterfall. Trekked up the mountain behi...

So we arrived in El Chalten at around 11pm that night. The drivers hadn´t been as nice on the second day as they were on the first day (we had a different set of drivers and guide), and they really didn´t give us any itinery, what time we could expect to arrive blah blah blah. The cheeseburger I had on arrival made up for the boring day we´d had...

pockets> We arrived in El Chalten about 12:00pm. We immediately thought we were out of out trekking depth. Primarily because most "trekkers" were donning designer trekking gear and walking poles, whilst we were sporting our "water Prof rain jackets" we bought, last minute, from the equivalent of the Argentinean Primark for the bargain price o...

5 hours to the north of El Calafate is the trekking town of El Chalten. Perched at the foot of Andie's and in the shadow of Cerro Fitz Roy or Fitz Roy Mountain, this small community houses the start of some of the worlds best trekking. Arriving late at night I meet up with Kim and Karen and went to the opening of a brand new pub in town and dran...

El Chalten ist die jüngste Stadt Argentiniens...Sie wurde 1985 deshalb gegründet weil es einen Streit mit Chile gab wem denn das Land gehört auf dem jetzt das 200 Seelen Städtchen El Chalten steht. Argentinien hat also einfach kurzen Prozess gemacht und eine argentinische Stadt dort gegründet...den Streit gibt es wohl immernoch aber natürlich is...

once we arrived from el calafate and napped off our whiskey night we headed out in the tiny dirt road town to check out the scene and figure out our next camping adventure. we got a pretty thorough chat from a park ranger upon arriving since the town itself is in the national park. very cool. the next day we bought our grocery supplies and heade...

Al parc nacional de Los Glaciares hi vam arribar empetetits, axafats davant de tanta magnificencia. A mesura que ens hi apropavem, el massis del Fitz Roy ens proporcionava vistes inmillorables d'alguns dels pics mes famosos del planeta. Poc a poc, aquelles formes dentades de dits aixecats, de pues de pinta per aclarir el cabell, aquelles torres ...

Trek with the French Glacier Trek with Rage and Mara

From Puerto Madryn I didn´t know where to go next, whether to go to Ushuaia or to El Calafate, and my Rough Guide was no help. Either way, you have to go to Rio Gallegos so I got a bus to there and decided along the way to go to Ushuaia first. And then when I got to Rio Gallegos there were no buses to Ushuaia for the next few hours but there was...

Travelled to El Chalten for more hiking and camping around Fitzroy National Park. The distances were much shorter than Torres Del Paine but the scenery was just as impressive. On the first day we had only a 3 hour hike to the camp and then another hour hike to the viewpoint of the Fitzroy Granite towers. At the base was a beautiful glacier lake ...
