Itinéraire
Votre guide vous attendra à votre hôtel à El Calafate vers 7h30 pour commencer le voyage vers El Chaltén. En chemin, il y aura un arrêt à Estancia La Leona, où vous aurez la chance de prendre le petit déjeuner. Nous vous recommandons vivement d'essayer un de leurs savoureux gâteaux faits maison. En voyage, vous aurez droit à une vue imprenable sur les montagnes environnantes, notamment le Cerro Fitz Roy, le Cerro Torre et le glacier Viedma.
Une fois arrivés à El Chaltén, nous commencerons une petite randonnée jusqu’au belvédère Condors – un sentier d’un peu plus de 700 mètres de long avec une pente douce. Depuis le sommet, vous profiterez d'une vue panoramique imprenable sur la ville et le paysage environnant. Ensuite, nous nous dirigerons vers Chorrillo del Salto, une promenade facile de moins de 500 mètres sur un terrain plat, menant à une belle cascade.
Vers 14h00, vous rejoindrez le groupe pour un repas dans un restaurant local du village (une option végétarienne est disponible). Ensuite, vous aurez du temps libre pour prendre un café et explorer le village à votre rythme.
Vers 16h00, vous vous regrouperez avec le reste de la visite pour commencer le voyage de retour vers El Calafate. Bien que l’expérience Full Day Chaltén se termine, vous aurez encore le temps de contempler le magnifique paysage argentin pendant le voyage de retour.

Lots of interesting explanations and a super friendly guide. The walk was beautiful and the food tasty but in terms of value for money it was a bit expensive. The weather wasn't good for us either, but of course nothing can be done about it. We were hoping for some more vantage points.
Dear Melissa, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of the El Chaltén Guided Tour from El Calafate. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the interesting explanations provided by your guide, their friendliness, the beautiful hike, and the food. At the same time, we're sorry to learn that the tour did not fully meet your expectations in terms of value for money and the number of viewpoints along the route. Patagonia's weather can be unpredictable and unfortunately plays a significant role in the overall experience. While this is beyond anyone's control, we completely understand your disappointment when hoping for clearer views and more scenic lookout points. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us and our local partners continue improving the experience and setting accurate expectations for future travelers. Thank you again for traveling with Howlanders. We hope you still took home wonderful memories of El Chaltén and Patagonia. Kind regards, Howlanders Team
I enjoyed the trip with Sandra as the tour guide. Able to explore Mount Fitz Roy and The town of El Chalten. Sandra was an excellent tour guide. I enjoyed the 700 meters hiking to see the panoramic view of Mount Fitz Roy and El Chalten. Highly recommended!

Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure in Patagonia soon! Howlanders Team
A nice trip, bilingual Spanish/English to tell stories and landscape formation of the area. Our driver is very cautious in the severe weather. Short hike to see the surrounded mountains. Delicious lunch in a nice restaurant. Definitely recommend.
Thank you very much for your review. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the trip to El Chaltén, the landscapes, and the stories shared by the guide during the journey. It’s also great to know you had a pleasant hike and lunch despite the challenging weather. Best regards, Howlanders Team
Great comms the night before confirming the pickup time and links to puchase park tickets 45,000 pesos. South Road operated the 4WD Ttruck and very comfortable. Arrived right on time at 7.30am at my hotel. Reload of more passengers outside El Calafate from feeder hotel vans. Carla was the tour guide and Henry the driver. She explained the topography and geology very well with maps. Good toilet and coffee breaks and stops for photos. About 3 hours drive to El Chatan. NOTE: new law passed in the town requiring a 3,000 peso levy and its collected by officers when you arrive in the town; you can pay by cash or card. I did not do the full 8km round hike to the lake but I did the short 2km round trip to a mountain top to view vistas of the town and mountains and saw some condors flying around. This meant lunch in the town and had a nice lentil stew. Then onto a waterfall and then back to El Calafate in 2.20 hours, arriving back around 8.00pm. I really enjoyed the day and would recommend if you have a day to kill.
Marek, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed El Chalten guided tour from El Calafate! Your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to see you again for more unforgettable adventures in Patagonia! Safe travels, The Howlanders Team
We took a nice tour bus with our Guide Alex from El Calafate to El Chalten. Along the way he told us about the history of Patagonia. We stopped at a ranch/hotel/museum to break up the ride and have a rest stop. We then drove to a spot a short walk from a waterfall where we took pictures. We then had a nice lunch in El Chalten. Afterwards we went to the park entrance and walked approximately 45 minutes, mostly uphill to a point to view the peak of El Chalten, unfortunately the clouds were lower than peak. We did however see a condor on the peak near us.
Hola, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the journey from El Calafate to El Chaltén with Alex, and that the stops along the way and lunch made the day special. It’s wonderful that you spotted a condor near the peak—even if the clouds hid El Chaltén itself, those moments in Patagonia are unforgettable! We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in this incredible region. Best regards, Howlanders Team

Great hike. Had to take my time on first one but Mckayla (Michaela) Waited for me and helped me up the steeper rocky area. Both guides helpful and informative. Second hike flat to a pretty nice waterfall with lots of water. Driver was also good and stopped to get pictures on way back to El Calafate
