El Chalten (in pictures)
There has been oodles and oodles of information lately about hiking in and around El Chalten in the southern Argentina section of Patagonia. A 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!
