el chalten
hikes, hikes, and more hikes…el chalten is within the boundaries of los glaciares national park so there are heaps of possibilities everyday. they are also free! so that is basically all i did here…hikes to see fitz roy and glaciers ;)
the loma del pliegue tumbado hike is easy and pretty short-12 km and a few hours one way. the viewpoint was really windy but provided a great view of fitz roy and the laguna torre glaciers i was to climb the next day.
poincenot hike was only about two easy hours for a diferent angle of fitz roy. i also found that the time the reference point gives you really overestimates your pace, so this was good news. just make sure you bring lots of water…there aren’t any fresh water supplies on the way.
