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 feel like a breath of fresh air

    The route unfolds between steppe and sky. In the distance, Fitz Roy appears as a promise. This is how your day begins towards El Chaltén.

    First stop:
    La Leona Rest Stop, amidst pioneer stories, Patagonian winds, and a view that already changes your pace. Hot coffee, turquoise river, anecdotes of the first explorers. And onwards.

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

    👣 One to the
    Condor Lookout, with direct views of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.

    💧 Another to
    Chorrillo del Salto, a 20-meter waterfall among 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 an environment that embraces you.

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