In this guide I give you all the information you need to make your visit to El Chaltén unforgettable.

In addition, you can read how I've experienced the hikes which gives you a detailed description so you know what to expect. I also included my own pictures.

Spending my university life in Argentina gave me the chance to travel for years around the Country where all nature unites. Glaciers, jungles, deserts, whales, 7000m volcanoes. All united within a single Country. This map might be the biggest I have ever made so far (also considering how big is this country). It will give you intel on all its national parks, most beautiful cultural events, fantastic food of Buenos Aires and logistics hubs for transport.
