Frequently asked questions
About El Chaltén
El Chaltén is a small mountain village located within Los Glaciares National Park in the Patagonia region of Argentina. The currency used in Argentina is the Argentine Peso. El Chaltén is known for its stunning mountain landscapes, including the iconic peaks of Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. The village is a popular destination for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of trails for all skill levels. Visitors can also enjoy birdwatching, fishing, and horseback riding in the surrounding area.
When to visit
The best time to visit El Chaltén is during the summer months of December to February when the weather is mild and the days are long. However, this is also the busiest time of year, so be prepared for crowds. Spring and fall are also good times to visit, with fewer tourists and cooler temperatures. Winter is the low season, with many businesses closed and limited hiking opportunities due to snow and ice.
Getting around
El Chaltén is a small village that can easily be explored on foot. Most of the hiking trails start right from the village, so there is no need for a car. There are also local guides and tour operators that offer transportation to trailheads further afield. Bicycles are available for rent in the village, providing another option for getting around.
Traveller tips
Be prepared for changeable weather in El Chaltén, with strong winds and sudden rain showers common in the mountains. Make sure to pack layers and waterproof clothing. It's a good idea to book accommodation and tours in advance, especially during the peak summer season. Bring plenty of snacks and water for your hikes, as there are limited services on the trails. Don't forget to carry cash, as many businesses in El Chaltén do not accept credit cards. Lastly, be respectful of the environment and follow Leave No Trace principles while hiking.
