Great tour host! Spoke...

Great tour host! Spoke everything in Spanish & English. Tour covered a lot of area and some gorgeous terrain. Excellent and efficient way to see El Chalten on a short timeline.

The Chalten in all its glory

Excellent walk to know the capital of trecking in southern Argentina. We went for the day from Calafate with the operator Prestigio. Very respectful of the schedules, with a very attentive guide that tells stories of the fauna of the place and anecdotes of mountain climbing in the Fitz Roy and in the towering peak by the rugged and covered walls of ice. We had a splendid day of sunshine and could see the snow peaks all the time. From the route, from the village and in the trecking we did. I loved climbing the condor viewpoint. Besides the mountain you can see those majestic birds flying beneath you. Tremendous!!

Excellent tour of El Chaltén from El Calafate

El Chalten Full-Day from El Calafate with Lunch is an excellent day tour of EL Chalten from El Calafate. We were able to see the Andes Mountains, a waterfall, and condors. We also encountered the first snow of the season. Although we booked late (the day before the tour), the tour was able to accommodate my vegetarian requirements for lunch.

Very beautiful landscapes, badly organized to my taste

A very nice excursion but, the one that fell to me, I thought it was badly planned. Two hikes are made, one to the Chorrillo, of low demand and another to the Mirador de los Condores of medium demand. The ideal would have been to first make the one of El Chorrillo that can be made by all and then give option to tour the town, which is beautiful, to those who are not physically able to make the other. Unfortunately it was done backwards and I could not make the climb to the Mirador or tour the picturesque village.

It's too little time to enjoy the Chalten

If you have little time it is advisable to tour, I went in May and it was snowy, I hiked to Laguna Capri. Wear a lot of coat and gloves. If you have time it is advisable to stay, I came back in November and stayed 4 days.
