El Chalten - Day 2
Today was my mom's birthday. We went on a big hike up a trail, Sandero al Fitz Roy, in the Parque National Los Galcier. The hike was nice because there were lots of view points and little waterfalls. We stopped at some place on the trail and had a snack, ...
Mt. Fitzroy
We absolutely made the most of our last 'hiking day' in Patagonia. El Chalten is one of the coolest places we've ever been...it's like a little ski town at the base of a mountain, but it is tiny and everyone is here just to hike this mountain. We set ...

Fantastic views of Mount Fitzroy
El Chalten is one of those places you find every now and again that seems to be developing fast, not least because the road has now been paved. It is at the end of a Ruta 23 and from 30kms out you get to see the quite spectacular sight of Mount Fitzroy. ...
Walking in the lakes and mountains

The busiest month of my life in a few paragraphs

Viajo Chalten!

... conditions were better and we also got some additional fuel at the estancia. So together with Heidi and Otto we made it to El Chalten without further problems and could admire the shark-like peaks of the Fitz-Roy mountains in the evening sun. Great day. ...
Argentina: El Chalten
We left El Calafate early in the morning for El Chalten, think it took around 3.5 hours. We hadn´t booked any accommodation and headed straight for the HI hostel Rancho Grande. We spent one night there only because we had already paid. ...
Impasse en Patagonie
