Activities

There are many itineraries setting off from El Chalten, those run through well signed trails inside the National Park as well as in private grounds. According to your physical condition and available time -and of course depending on the unpredictable Patagonian weather- it is possible to undertake from short hikes up to ascents or embark on expeditions for several days.

Self-guided treks


Most of these treks do not demand any previous experience in mountaineering activities. It is possible to visit lookout points with stunning panoramic views using little time and effort. It is not necessary to contract a guide to do the trails that are described in this section, but it is possible you wish to rely on their services to keep your mind at ease or to help you discover the place best known secrets.

A guide will offer you the means, experience and safety necessary to visit places that otherwise would be inaccessible.
