EL CHALTEN

El Chaltén is located north of Lake Viedma and minutes away from the base of Mount Fitz Roy. The access to El Chalten is by Highway 40 from El Calafate, which is 137 miles away. Line buses make the trip every day and, during high season, more than once a day. Known worldwide as the capital of trekking, this is the ideal site for walking fans and professional mountain climbers.

Fitz Roy Mountain: this mountain is 11,000 feet high and sits in the border between Argentina and Chile. The first climbers to reach the top were French, Lionnel Terray and Guido Magnone, members of a local expedition. Although it is not a very high mountain, compared to the Himalaya giants, it has a reputation of "extreme difficulty" because it requires technical expertise in climbing to overcome vertical, smooth and slippery slabs. There are only one or two successful climbs per year, by either one of two routes: the "argentine" or the "french".
