Have you heard of a place called El Chaltén? If not you are not alone; I didn't know anything about it until this trip. What I knew was Mt. Fitz Roy and my wish to visit it got me to El Chaltén.
Now I know it is a really nice, small town 3 hours north of El Calafate. It is a convenient stop for all those who want to do some trekking or, like in my case, just visit the area.
