The town of El Chaltén is known as the National Capital of Trekking in Argentina–and for a good reason. It serves as a jumping off point for some of the world’s best hikes, views, and stress-relieving deep breaths. This is the perfect place to celebrate your love for adventure; a destination where “epic” doesn’t begin to do the scenery justice. We’ve often asked, why isn’t El Chaltén the 8th Wonder of the World?

Imagine being hugged by 360 degrees of stunning scenery, where crystalline waters and staggering peaks provide striking views from above and below. You’ll discover hidden rivers, stand in awe of (or maybe even climb) granite spires, and kayak across ice blue lakes beneath painted skies. When you’re ready for relaxation, you might find yourself in one of El Chaltén’s craft breweries contemplating how to extend your trip in Patagonia.

Whether you take an “adrenaline-pumping” or “take-in-the-scenery” approach to your days in El Chaltén, all of your senses will be fully engaged in this mountain-lovers’ paradise. You’ll feel entranced by this peaceful little town… and this is a destination that keeps on giving. The magic of El Chaltén will stay with you forever.
