Description
Travel from El Calafate to the heart of Los Glaciares National Park and discover El Chaltén, a charming mountain village known as the National Trekking Capital. During the journey along Route 40 and Route 23, you’ll enjoy spectacular landscapes: Argentino Lake, La Leona River, Viedma Lake, and unique views of Mount Fitz Roy and Mount Torre.
Accompanied by a professional tour guide, you’ll enjoy an interpretive tour with photo stops at the best viewpoints along the route, learning about the geography, fauna, and history of the region.

After the walk, you’ll enjoy an included lunch at a local restaurant, with a menu of typical Patagonian homemade food (drinks not included).
