SOUTHERN PATAGONIA
Welcome to El Chaltén, Argentina. A tiny village lying underneath the shadows of mythical Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. Home of colossal granitic mountains and endless glaciers, the area provides sceneries out of a fairy tale. Either while roaming around the remote ethereal woods or hiking across the harsh rocky highlands, the setting is absolutely mesmerizing. Southern Patagonia endeavors framing the astonishing landmarks at the tip of the continent, enhanced by a distinctive autumnal palette.

Autumn's peak
A frozen kingdom

As trails become less crowded by Summer's end, wildlife starts showing up again. Woodpeckers, condors and foxes are easily observed, while pumas and huemuls (the southernmost deer, with a population of no more than 1000 specimens) rarely emerge.
