El Chalten is the trekking capital of Argentine Patagonia. Located just east of the Andes, the town was founded in 1985 as an outpost against border disputes with Chile. To the west rises Mount Fitz Roy, a cloud-covered peak in what is now the northern sector of Los Glaciares National Park.
This section of the Andes—thick with granite spires, glaciers, rivers, and lakes—embodies Patagonia’s spirit of solitary wildness and adventure. El Chalten is a magnet for those who love the outdoors. Many of the hiking trails can be taken independently from the edge of town.
Most visitors plan to stay at least three nights. LANDED arranges privately guided excursions such as hiking, climbing, biking, horseback riding, fishing, pack-raft trekking.
After an active day in the wilds, we love coming home to Hosteria El Puma, a cozy lodge created by climber Alberto de Castillo.
