El Chalten Inns - Reviews and Rates

Tuesday was our final full day in El Calefate so we decided to book a tour to go to El Chalten which is about 220km north of El Calefate.
We left on the bus in the pitch dark at 8am after legging it down from the hostel after leaving abit too late but thank god we made it with a min or so to spare.
We arrived in El Chalten about 11am not r...

Week 22 March 30th - 31st Monday, I awake weary eyed at about 6 a.m. and pack my bags, and head off to El Chalten. It was only 3 hours on the bus but the roads on the infamous route 40 are strange. It is like they are all under construction, that they started but forgot forgot to lay the tarmac on top. They are reasonably straight and wide, well...

We journey on in the hire in true road trip style, and head to El Chalten to try and catch a view of the Fitz Roy mountain peak...

17th to 19th March 2008 In the past few days I have been travelling along the legendary Ruta 40 from Bariloche to El Chalten. On Mon, 17th I got up at 0530, or so I thought!! The clocks went back an hour on Monday morning so it was only 0430. Only realised this when I was waiting for the bus to Puerto Moreno, a small town half way to El Chalten,...

Mark: 12/3 Another 6.30 kick off (we made it on time today) and it was another long day of driving south through Patagonia. About 50% of the time is on metal roads and the rest is on tarmac which is a bit slow going. Getting through a lot of books though. Pulled into El Chatlan about 6ish and had a quick wander around the town that was started ...

Llegamos a El Chaltén. Un pueblo de reciente fundación (1985) en un ventoso valle al pie del macizo del Fitz Roy. Nos instalamos en la posada y salimos a hace compras de provisiones y en busca de un transformador de 220 a 110 voltios, que hasta ahora nos hemos encontrado después que se quemo el nuestro. Luego armamos las bicicletas y nos deshici...

Hola Everyone! We grabbed a 3 hour flight down to El Calafate from Buenos Aires. After meeting our tour group and spending the night in the town of El Calafate, we hopped on a 4 hour bus ride to the town of El Chalten, which is the base for explorations into Glacier National Park. The bus ride featured the most amazing sunrise we have ever seen ...

Set off early from El Calafate for El Chalten and the "Los Glaciares" National Park. The route I'm taking is the start of "Rota 40" (Route 40) and I'll probably be following this highway all the way north at least as far as Mendoza. Sat next to an English lad, Stefan; he recognised me but I didn't remember him. Apparently he'd sat next to me in ...

So we finally arrived in El Chalten after it taking us a lifetime to get there, but it was definitely worth it. Got a hostel and got some great food in a nice restaurant that had great views of the Fitz Roy mountains. Checked out the price of camping gear to rent as we had planned to go camping for a few days around the different mountains and g...
