Full Day El Chalten - Free Trekking

General information

Destination
Calafate, Argentina

Program details

Our day starts as we depart from El Calafate and head along the famous Route 40. This iconic highway goes along the Argentino Lake up to the La Leona River. Shortly after passing the 'Cañadón La Leona' we will arrive at the ancient route hotel, La Leona. Here you will be able to enjoy a break for coffee and cakes.



Continue along Lake Viedma, where you can take in the magical views of glaciers, hidden lakes, and the glory that is Mount Fitz Roy. After several photo-stops you will arrive at the Andean village El Chalten, also known as "The Capital of Trekking". Visit the Interpretation Centre before the group will be divided according to their chosen option at our base - The Pudu Lodge. There are several routes available according to your physical condition and you will be provided with a map and a packed lunch to carry in your backpack.



This is a perfect trek for the independent traveller; the clearly-marked tracks can make anyone feel like an expert. Around 17:30pm we will return with the rest of the group to the base to enjoy a delicious hot chocolate at Pudu Lodge, before heading back to El Calafate.
