El Chalten Full Day with Hikes and Lunch from El Calafate

Description

🏞️ El Chaltén Full Day with Hikes and Patagonian Lunch

  • A day among mountains, waterfalls, and postcards that breathe on you.

    The route opens up between steppe and sky. In the distance, Fitz Roy appears as a promise. That's how your day to El Chaltén begins.

    First stop:     Parador La Leona, amidst pioneer stories, Patagonian wind, and a view that already changes your pace. Hot coffee, turquoise river, anecdotes of the first explorers. And we continue.

    Once in El Chaltén, two short, accessible, and profoundly impactful hikes await you:

    👣 One to the     Condors' Viewpoint, with direct views of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.

    💧 Another to     Chorrillo del Salto, a 20-meter waterfall amidst forests that can be heard before seen.

    Without being a mountaineer, you reach movie-like landscapes. No rushing, no physical demands. Just pure air, silence, and surroundings that embrace you.

    After the trail, comes the reward:     Patagonian lunch included in the village, with free time to explore, buy crafts, or simply gaze at the mountains. Because in El Chaltén, looking is living.
