El Chalten, Argentina
El Chalten is a small village of around 1,600 residents that serves as the gateway to the northern section of Los Glaciares National Park. The town sits at the base of Mount Fitz Roy (11,171 feet), a near-vertical granite peak that is one of the most technically challenging climbs in the world. Trails depart directly from town to viewpoints, glacial lakes, and hanging glaciers — no shuttle or transport required.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided El Chalten walking tour with audio narration. Use it to explore Laguna de los Tres, Laguna Torre, Mirador de los Condores, plus hidden gems like Loma del Pliegue Tumbado and Chorillo del Salto without booking a group tour.
