Trekking Capital
El Chaltén was founded in 1985 in a territorial dispute with Chile and is Argentina's youngest town. Today it is the national trekking capital, declared by Argentina in 2023. The entire town exists for the mountains, and every resident is there by choice.
Andean Condors
The Andean condor has a 3m wingspan, the largest flying bird in the Western Hemisphere. El Chaltén's thermals make it one of the best places to see them. The condor is Argentina's national bird and appears on the coat of arms.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the El Chaltén travel guide.
