El Chalten (in pictures)

by Adam Seper

There has  been oodles and oodles of information lately about hiking in and around El Chalten in the southern Argentina section of PatagoniaA guide to trekking the region and individual posts about each of the three main hikes we did (Lago and Glacier Torres, Lago and Glacier Piedras Blancas, and Laguna de los Tres) had a lot of information and pictures.

But judging by all the comments received, it seems like it would be a good idea to do an all pictures post of our favorite area in all of Patagonia.  So here’s our favorites that didn’t make the cut.  Enjoy!

    We had two cameras on our RTW trip.  A Nikon D40, which is an entry level DSLR and has served us nicely.  The vast majority of our pictures on this site were taken with that.  We only had the lens that came with it, too.  We also had a small Canon point and shoot that served us well, too.
