El Chalten Argentina: Some of the Best Hiking in the World
Sometimes when traveling we end up in some of the most beautiful places on earth. That was what happened after we arrived to El Chalten Argentina in the dark, after midnight, not having eaten dinner and needing to set up our tent with a mini gail of wind. But when we crawled out of our tent in the morning we found ourselves surrounded by towering mountains.
This weeks full post can be found at here. These are so more pictures because this hike was just so awesome.
Welcome to El Chalten Argentina.
Morning sunrise hike to view Mt. Fitzroy. It was cold!
Designated camping area.
Hiking through golden meadows. The cool thing about doing the loop was not as many people did that. The camp to hike to see Mt. Fitzroy was pretty busy and that trail during the day time was heavily traveled. But the connecting loop trails had much less foot traffic on them.
Hiking through this gravel/sand area on the way to De Agosti camp for night two.
This was one of our favorite hikes we have ever done. If you go, please follow leave no trace principles and keep the vibe of the trail respectful. We had a lot of terrible people hikes yet amazing scenery when people were loud, heavily drinking, dropping trash and washing their dishes in the river. Don’t do those things. This hike was awesome because everyone did what they were suppose to do. If you get a chance to go, this was one of our favorite hikes we have ever done.
Get the details and I hope you enjoy reading this weeks full post at over at my friend Lisa’s site at We Said Go Travel:

A SUPER impressive and scenic area! Unbelievable photos! Had to be a real thrill just to see let alone hike through.
It was surreal hiking through that terrain. I feel happy just thinking about that plot of land existing. I just loved it and hope so much the town implements a strong and sustainable growth plan.
What beautiful pictures. El Chalten seems lIke a wonderful place to visit. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed! It was so wonderful and I hope anyone who loves hiking gets a chance to go.
Breathtaking pictures, extremely expressive and alive it makes the viewer feel apart of the awe inspiring experience. It was interesting too, to see the camping arrangements, thanks for including that photo.
Thanks! 🙂 This was one of our all time favorite hikes we have ever done. Just an awesome town to hang out in for a while. It was such a beautiful spot of this planet and I think about it often. Pretty amazing you can drink the water right out of the streams and lakes here. Less and less places one can do that. So important to remember how much our actions, wherever we are on the planet affect the world around us. When I look at these photos, I need no other motivation to buy biodegradable soap, ect. It was just awesome.
