Luxury El Chalten Tours made for you

Once a remote outpost, the village of El Chalten sits within the Los Glaciares National Park, at the foot of the Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre mountains. Their spiky, ice-capped peaks pierce the sky, creating a dramatic profile that dominates the horizon.

This location has made El Chalten one of Argentina’s premier hiking destinations. A variety of trails lace through the landscape, from challenging full-day treks to half-day options and shorter routes.

Our travel designers have hiked here themselves, and will give you detailed insight into the different ways to reach Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. They’ll also introduce you to some lesser-known El Chalten hikes that take you deep into the wild, isolated expanse of Patagonia.

You can head through lenga forests to admire the 20-metre-high Cascada Margarita waterfall as it thunders onto the rocks. Or find yourself gazing out over hanging glaciers that cling to the granite slopes and occasionally calve into the pristine lakes below.

Another of our favourite things to do in El Chalten is kayak down the Rio de las Vueltas. Paddling along its winding, glacial waters is an adventurous way to get a different view of the landscape.

You can visit this region as part of a longer itinerary through Patagonia. Alternatively, combine it with time in other parts of Argentina and the wider South American continent. Get in touch with our experts to start planning your luxury El Chalten tour today.
