Trips to Argentina

The Fitz Roy and its neighboring Hill Tower, both within the National Park of Glaciers, have attracted the attention of mountain climbers and trekinistas in the Patagonia.

On the feet of the hill the youngest town of Argentina is located, the Chaltén, created in 1985 to reaffirm the sovereignty of the country on the continental ice of the zone, with a stable population of only 140 inhabitants, that it grows in summer to 400, to take care of the 20,000 mountain tourists and arrived from all parts of the world prepared to defy the capricious forms of the Fitz Roy.

In 1877, the expert Brown Francisco, in an expedition of exploration by the Argentine Lagos, descried a hill, the Chaltén. Thus the Indians called tehuelches, for those who it was a sagrada mountain, and means “mountain that smokes”. So it is the effect that produces winds when pushing the clouds over the summit.

The Chaltén, declared Capital Argentina of the Trekking, outdoors offers in its privileged natural surroundings alternative manifolds for the practice of activities and mountain sports, like this one, that on foot crosses the Lake Tower, the Lagoon of the Three, and the Hill of Pliegue Fallen down, always on the feet of the omnipresent Fitz Roy.
