PATAGONIA, A VAST TERRITORY SHARED BY CHILE AND ARGENTINA
Patagonia is located in the southernmost tip of America and is shared by Chile and Argentina. It is mainly formed by two large geographical areas: the Pampa and the Patagonian Andes.
The Pampa or Patagonian steppe is formed by extensive pasture land ideal for grazing and cattle ranching.
The Patagonian Andes is the final section of the Andes Mountain Range cut by numerous transverse valleys, lakes, fjords and tectonic and glacier channels. Part of the Andean relief is occupied by ice masses, many of which are found in the Southern Ice Field, one of the world’s largest reserves of fresh water.
LOS GLACIARES NATIONAL PARK
Los Glaciares National Park was created to protect some of the remnants of the last glaciation, glaciers, native forests, lakes, part of the steppe and abundant native biodiversity. Mount Fitz Roy is one the milestones at the northern border of the National Park, while the famous Perito Moreno glacier is located south.
Based on its beauty and diversity of living species, in 1981 the Park was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

El CHALTÉN, EXTREME BEAUTY
Set on an ancient glacial watershed and located within the Park, El Chaltén is surrounded by mountains, lakes, and forests, and watched over by the Viedma glacier and the granite needles of the Torre and Fitz Roy mountains. These geographical milestones have made this area a special destination for those who love unspoiled and wild nature. The wilderness offers stunning views with unique natural environments that result from a transition between the Patagonian steppe and Subantarctic forests.
The presence of huemul deer, torrent ducks and Patagonian woodpeckers wandering freely is evidence of the perfect conservation state of the area’s land, water and flora.
Mount Fitz Roy, the Symbol of Patagonia

Mount Fitz Roy –also known as Cerro Chaltén– is considered by hikers as one of the world’s most technically demanding mountains. The logo of the “Patagonia” outdoor clothing and gear company depicts Mount Fitz Roy.
Torre Lagoon
Torre Lagoon is found within the Los Glaciares National Park, in Argentina. This beautiful lagoon originates from meltwater from the area’s mountain chains and offers magnificent and unique views of the massif. The famous east face of Torre Mount can be seen from here.
Capri Lagoon
Capri Lagoon is a blue water and extremely beautiful lake located northeast of El Chaltén. Amazing views of the following mountains can be enjoyed from this lagoon: Poincenot, Fitz Roy, Val de Bois, Mermoz and Guillaumet.
Los Tres Lagoon
Los Tres is another extraordinary lagoon with unforgettable views to the Fitz Roy Massif and several other mountains in the chain that are a delight for expert photographers, particularly the golden glow of Mount Fitz Roy at dawn.
The Chorrillo del Salto Fall
The Chorrillo del Salto fall is an extremely beautiful area, with a safe and well-signaled trekking route. This amazing natural waterfall is in the surroundings of El Chaltén, along with other routes such as Río de Las Vueltas Viewpoint, Torre Mountain Viewpoint, Las Águilas Viewpoint and Los Cóndores Viewpoint, all of which make the El Chaltén a true paradise for adventure, hiking and nature.
Los Huemules Natural Reserve

This area has an amazing geological magnificence with flora that’s representative of Patagonian species. These 5,800 hectares of mountains, glaciers, ñire and lenga tree forests, lagoons and rivers spans from the northern end of the Cóndor lagoon to the south side of the El Diablo lagoon.
