Overview

  • El Chaltén Express – Soft walks and unforgettable scenery
    The day begins at 7:30 am in El Calafate, and then travel 220 km to El Chaltén, crossing the Patagonian steppe. Along the way you stop at Estancia La Leona and, weather permitting, at the Viedma Glacier Lookout, overlooking the glacial valley and Fitz Roy and Torre hills.

    Already in El Chaltén, you have about 5 hours to tour the village inside the Los Glaciares National Park, making two low difficulty hikes with local guide : the first to the Mirador de los Condores (2 km, 100 m elevation), overlooking the Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre and the village; then, after homemade lunch (according to option chosen), you visit the Chorrillo del Salto, a waterfall accessible by a 500 metres trail.

    Return to El Calafate begins at 16:00, arriving at hotels between 18:30 and 19:00.
